Oops! It's Been A While

Why haven't I been blogging as often as before? Here's what I've been doing instead. This is the cello I've been working on. Still lots more to do, but it's coming along. To give an impression of size, I've put a glove on the floor in front of it.

On Friday, all of her "clothes" arrived in the mail. Although it doesn't really show, the fingerboard is ebony, the other parts are rosewood. They're beautiful!

This is the back of the double bass. We've finished inlaying the purfling (the black lines) and now we're doing the final shaping of the outside before we start to work on the inside.

Here is a pic of Ian (who will be the owner of it when it's done) and Bethany. We set him to work scraping the surface. That didn't last long!

Here are the front, back and sides as they look right now.

We are so excited about the how much we've done in such a short time.
