Yeah - it's finished and now strung! Very Happy

My 1st creation. It was both challenging and enjoyable.
Best part? It *sounds* awesome - better than I expected!

Thought I'd share. Very Happy

If that's your first, I'll look forward to seeing pictures of your second! Nice looking violin straight out of the gates.

Nice Work, and a good scroll. The button looks a bit square. Did you do this
on purpose?
