Here are some of the beautiful one piece cello backs I have ready to use. They are of European Bird's Eye Maple, Willow, English Sycamore, and Poplar. One of the bird's eye maple backs is shown on its own, with its deep, broad and sloping figure with a scattering of bird's eye. It will make a stunning instrument.
The average piece is about 3 feet / 1 metre long half that wide and about 45 mm thick. The maple backs weigh considerably more in this state than a finished cello.
The Ladies size violin I have been making should be finished this week. Photos in the next blog.
