Stages in a Violin's Construction

This was taken on Monday at the Chicago school for violin making ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-03-25). This is part of the display during the lecture, showing from once the violin takes shape to the final varnish. During our tour, we were able to see all of these phases unfold.

Thanks for the kind comments -- greatly appreciated! And a call-out to Annette who had recommended that I just show up, even though 18th on the waiting list! It was great advice.

It's not often that I give good advice, we should definitely celebrate it!
