And She Shall Be Called Lily

This will be the last update before she's done.

I have a wood burning pen, and I've put her name, Lily, where it can be seen inside the f-hole opposite the one with the label. The week after next is the week long course when I'll be finishing her and playing her in the white. Here she is with a few things left to do before I cut the mortise for the neck.

As soon as she is finished, my next two projects will start. I will hang her on the wall beside her sister, Pearl (the violin I made), so she can easily be taken down and played. I'll take a family picture and post it here.

This is the front, back and neck for my cello (who will be called Lucy). The flame of the maple is really pretty.

This is my sidekick holding the block of wood for the neck of the double bass we're starting .
