OK, here it is as promised. A little late but you can't rush perfection. It's a student model that got a new fingerboard and bridge by me and a new fireglo/Union Jack finish by Paul.

Trying to wrap my head around this being an upright bass. Those fence planks would be what, two feet wide each?
Nice job Kira.
Nice job Kira.

It's just a little old fiddle, Jake. I picked it up at Goodwill for eighteen bucks. The fingerboard is real padauk, left over from one of Paul's Rick projects. Cutting the bridge turned out to be the trickiest part of the job - there's a lot that goes into a violin bridge, I found out.
Thanks, guys! It was a fun project.

I'm excited to see this ASAP!

When power comes back on at my house, I'll check it out!

Very nice, Kira!
Nice foot rest, too, or is that a knee brace?
