Cue much juggling of various sized pots full of noxious looking substances, cue being slightly cross eyed from the varnish itself ( very potent ), and cue wood scraping and general kerfuffle.
One coat applied and then the next instrument is picked up to work on in a cycle.
Juggling pieces of wood to ensure that each gets the finish that it deserves is not easy when you are surrounded by cats, the hair seems to get everywhere!
And so today, gluing the fingerboard for the new uke:
and waiting patiently for the god-knows-how-many-coats-i-have-put-on-now spirit varnish to dry on this baroque violin which is looking very pretty.
