Dang, Jim!  This sounds just like a fiddle!  Oh Wait!  I guess it really is!  Great job on another fine build and playing!

And a mighty fine fiddle he played, ooooh, a mighty fine fiddle he played! Great job, Jim. Build and playing was a feast for the ears and eyes.

Thanks RTZ. This is my second fiddle with this "ramp" cutaway. I copied it from a homemade fiddle I found that was made in N Carolina in the 50's or 60's

Thanks Derek. These are some of my favorite boxes for fiddles but sometimes hard to find. I might have to put out a "lets trade boxes" call soon if I can't find more soon.

Poor pigs not their fault they are tasty. your getting good at this Jim don't think I have seen that kind of cutaway before.
