48mm - VIOLA - 200 + Years Old Bridge Old Growth Maple Guarnerius Model

Description: ** This is a stock photo - you will get a similar bridge, but not this exact one. ** 1 - 48mm Viola bridge. Made from 200 + year old, salvaged old growth Maple. Once a year I visit relatives in Canada, while I am in the general area, I hand select a few billets of old growth Maple which is salvaged from area rivers and the great lakes. These logs were cut from the original, old growth forests in the 1700's - 1800's, the ones that sunk are now worth 1000's of dollars each. Each small billet costs houndreds of dollars and I hand pick them for flame, figure and tight grains. I then have to dry this wood for 12 to 18 months before making the blanks. The wood is darker than modern Maple, they are medium hard to hard and in most examples, the grain is very tight. Because of the extended drying times, I can only offer a few dozen of these per year. The last time I offered them, 1 individual bought them all - so get them while you can!

This is the lowest price I can except, because of the price of the wood and extended drying time. **** ** This is a stock photo - you will get a similar bridge but not this exact one ** Sign up for my email newsletters by adding my eBay Store to your Favorites - Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
