Making a del Gesu copy

Making a "copy" of a late del Gesu violin, I always find myself doing hideous things. But, hey, it will look really cool once it's varnished!

Right now, I am copying the 1740 ca "Heifetz". The top left corner of the back is insane- it's straight part of the white purfling strip being one of the "signature features" - a detail that stands out and distinguishes this instrument from all others. The fingerprint in the varnish on the table, which is said to be Heifetz's, is another.

Viola, that is it varnished!
