jay5 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 By violin cuts I imagine you mean f-holes. Unless the body is a semi-hollow you wont really be able to do them. You could refinish it and then use an f-hole decal to get the look. To answet your question, the easiest way to cut f-holes IMO (in a proper body) is with a router and template.

jay5 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Oh, ok, like violin c-bouts. A bandsaw or a jigsaw would be my suggestion, bandsaw coming first. You could also use a chisel to carve those areas out as theyre not that large. Either way I would strip the body first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ok...i've started to take the finish off with a chemical stripper.
