Alas, this one did not go too well. It ultimately failed at the heel join there. I tried a second one with a dowel going through the box and that worked much better. I am building a box fiddle now, making the box from scratch, again with the dowel going through. If you go here, you can see the build blog I did while putting that second one together: http://handmademusic.ning.com/profile/Diane

Yes very cool! I like the strategic placement of the sound holes so they don't interfere with the bowing.
