The 2nd Stainer is now completely setup in-the-white.   The final edge work is next and some clean-up of the scroll.  I’ll record some of the measurements at this stage and again after varnishing.  I don’t want to rush the finish, so it will take a few months to complete.

The Cannone-inspired Guarneri del Gesù is progressing.  After completing the templates, mold and counter-forms, the ribs have been installed.  Linings next, then on to the scroll as I like to have the scroll nearly-complete before beginning the plates.  I’ll be re-creating the original scroll’s dimensions.  Its a large scroll and a departure from the more Strad-style scroll I’ve previously created.
