Most parts are cnc-carved. The body is usually carved from a single block of wood, but for my cnc, I split it into three parts, including a decorative strip of amaranth.

Vibrating string length 29.5cm (3/4 violin). Strings are Aquila F-Red superior tension, G-D-A.

Materials used: maple, spruce, amaranth, ebony.

Did you use a particular finish on the amaranth, or are you going to let it naturally shift?

It’s all absolutely gorgeous, by the way!

I just used standard alcohol-based varnish. Tbh I when I started this build, I didn’t even realise it would do that. 😅
