Here is a picture of my latest viola in progress. It is a new model, 15-3/4", based on an A. Guarneri, 1689.

I will be displaying my instruments at Richmond Folk Festival October 9–11 this year, in the Crafts Marketplace. Come by and visit and register to win a new Pernambuco violin bow. The winner's name will be drawn at the festival! You don't need to be present to win.
