Beautiful Viola! I call anything with shoulders violas. So sorry if it's a violin. I admire the simplicity of the varnish ingredients. Hope she cures up nice and hard for you! I wonder if sun thickened linseed oil would allow a less burnt appearance? That way you wouldn't have to cook it all and risk blowing up? I got through vanishing my bridge with clear nail polish 3 months ago. Just dime store clear nail polish. Two coats and it sets up in about 20 minutes to half hour. Takes maybe a week to entirely get hard. I'm very satisfied with the finish. A little thick but it sets up so nice and quick it's almost worth it. If I had to do it over I would have thined it 50/50 with acetone. To aid brushing. But as it sits I've been playing Sibillious on her and I was the one who carved her from the stock bridge blank. Hope you'll follow up and show coats 2 3 and 4 of your 5 string violin. Im a former oil painter and anything to do with painting and vanishing interests me. Thanks for showing your beautiful craftsmanship. I wish I could make my own violin! Kudos and congratulations!😅
Beautiful varnish! Would you share the recipe?
Just amazing thanks for your patience 😊
Is it sealed with a 2lb cut of Shellac ?

Thank you! I use spirit varnish but a few good tips here!
What would happen if you mixed beeswax + oil varnish + pine resin and applied it to the violin?
Gorgeous violin. I just made oil varnish myself, but it also had rosin. Is your varnish only turpentine and oil? No resin? Please keep posting!
Very nice!!
How much this one
Why wouldn’t you spray the varnish?
بسیار لسیار زیبا
What happened to you. Would watch regularly
No one watched, I’m posting regularly on Facebook and I’ll be bringing RUclips back here shortly after I get some things sorted out.
