These are such great posts, Michael. Thank you for sharing every stage and for your honesty when things don't go to plan. It's all fascinating. I'm very interested that you stuck your nameplate in after you'd glued it all together. Jeremy never signed my viola and now I realise he could. Will he need to borrow your special soundpost tool to get a label through the f-hole?
Thanks, Julia. Actually, the name label went in before I glued it up. But some people seem to put it in later. Jeremy didn't put a label in??? He needs to do something about that!
Wow. Super exciting. Great photos.

Hi Michael. I wondered about the name label, too. From what material is it made? Is a calligrapher involved?
Hi Wendy, it's actually my design. I wanted it to be simple. I printed it on a thin piece of parchment paper.
Nicely done.
