Today I spent a couple of hours de-glossing the 2nd coat, and then put the third coat of varnish on the Pernambuco OM. Then I finished making the bridge for the 000 and glued it on.
Also, I spent 2 and half hours playing violin duets with my friend Louise. We worked on Bach's violin suite D minor #3, and then spent some time on Haydn's Opus 99 in Bb. Sadly, I didn't pick up the fiddle till I was 53 and that is way late to get as accomplished as one might hope to. But then Louise got a late start too, and we are having a great time.
