New Wood For Fiddle


I just returned from Halifax, went to East Coast Specialty Woods to pick up some wood for my new fiddle. I found a nice piece of Bloodwood  (red color), some Swiss Pear Wood, & Pau Amarello (yellow). Can’t wait to cut into them.  I am halfway through carving the belly (medium grain spruce). A little at a time! I am using scrapers & sandpaper.

I also have a new online gallery at Yessy.com.

Lots of great art to see or set up an online gallery and sell your own!
