I must ask this question. I absolutely love how this is done. But the question must be asked: All materials, wood, glue, etc. being exactly the same, could one not CNC the arch and the hollowing out of the back? At least to the basic dimensions, then finish with much less planing and scraping. I wouldn't think that would have any effect on sound and would reduce cost. It would quite have the same character I suppose but a poor kid might have a better shot at getting one.
If use with care, this can last you a life time. Just make sure you get one that you really like. I personally like high angle planes. And lighter, better.
Patience of a saint. Love the fine details. Exquisite
Thank you.

Yes, you can do that. But I don’t know how much would it cost to do CNC.
I would like to purchase a violin planer, what website did you purchase it from?
Maybe Dictum or Lie-Nielsen?
@@MekwokStudio Thank you. It's expensive for me but I'll try to buy it!
