Below is an article on a violin maker from a local newspaper. The interesting thing about the luthier (after you wade through all the preliminary stuff), is that he set out to make EVERYTHING locally sourced. He even gets cattle tendons to make his glue and makes his own turpentine for his finish solvent. This is taking it way further than I would go, but who knew you could make your own turpentine? Personally, I just buy my solvents.
Redwood topped violins??? Apparently it works.
