The mulberry bowl


One step before the capping strips !

The talented luthier, Stelios Tsilimigkas, ( https://steliostsilimigkas.wixsite.com/luthier sent me today photos, after finishing the creation and placement of the instrument's staves.

It is really obvious how much attention the luthier has put, as someone can notice by the absence of any burning marks on the clean staves,which can manifest the luthier's desire to perfection.

Next step is the creation of the  tall, and unique, capping strip (kollatza) which luthier construct on his musical instruments, and the narrow side capping strips. 

One of the many reasons I am  attracted to Stelios creations is exactly that: His signature shape of capping and side strips.

Following the finalization of the capping strips ,the luthier will  clean, scrap, and sand, inside-out the bowl, bringing the enchanting beauty of the old mulberry woods, up to the surface.

Stay tuned !
