The materials for the Redwood Violin. December update.

An overview of the materials that Ive collected and prepared to make a violin as far as possible from materials sourced in Sonoma County California. Apple wood Violin Pegs Purfling This is part of The Redwood Violin Project designed to paint a picture of the county as told through the story of making a violin as far as possible from locally sourced materials. I will be positing videos about collecting the materials the people I meet and about the process of making a violin including things like making my own glue and varnish from scratch. Materials for the violin are selected both for being workable substitutes for traditional materials and with consideration for their significance to Sonoma Countys history and economy. More information about the project: I am a violin maker with 30 years experience. ,
