🦋 viola d'ottone: second thoughts about the neck

I think I need to laminate the brass viola's neck out of two pieces, so the grain in the upper neck and pegbox/scroll can be straight. I do not think it will be strong enough going at an angle across the grain as it is currently laid out [cf]. I have a pretty clear mental picture of what the joint should look like.

🦋 viola d'ottone: cutting the neck

I've laid out the neck for my brass viola. Next step will be cutting the outline and the tenon. I will leave the full thickness of the board in place until the neck fits into the viola body straight and lined up with the tail.

"Epistolary Verse", the review began, "is neither." "Buckle up," he whistled, and read further.

Reread. Go back. The letters,
Static, swerve, collide;
Shatter.
Your mental notes,
Your scribbled annotations
Useless now, incomprehensible;
Crystal edifice of abstraction brought low.
