The "Saint"
Two Additional Coats of Varnish
Today's photos do not do the finish full justice as the colors are a bit richer.
Below the ribs, scroll and back are nearing completion in pigmented coats. Again, the color is not entirely faithful due to reflection of the flash.
The top shown below has fewer coats and is more orange. Ben is hoping the violin will be dry enough for an additional coat on the top this afternoon. The scroll in this photo appears richer in color than the side view with the ribs shown above but due to the lighting is actually darker than in reality.
The invoice for the hand carved Otto Tempel fittings arrived and funds were transferred to the maker this afternoon. The fittings were finished a couple of weeks ago and will be shipped from Germany as soon as the bank transfer is completed.
Below is an expunged copy of the invoice.
The boxwood fittings with gold inlay shown below are similar to the ones ordered for the "Saint".
Wow, it's gorgeous! And possibly more bejeweled than many women out there!
