Violin

References

To make my violin I’ll referencing Henry Strobel’s Violin Making: Step by Step and The Art of Violin Making by Chris Johnson and Roy Courtnall. I also gained much knowledge from Maestronet and general wood working knowledge from Lumber Jocks and Sawmill Creek. Another very valuable resource has been Hobbyist Luthier where Matt has also built the same pattern violin as me and documented the process. There are tons of other sites and I’ll try to give them credit as I go.
