As done as it's going to get.

Not a great finish job on this one but looks Okay!

Non traditional woods here. Walnut back and sides and neck, Redwood top.

Plucks a nice tone. Will have to wait to have it played by someone
who CAN DO IT

I do not know anything about violins, but looking at it.. you did a great job in the sides, the purfling and the carving.
Hopefully it turns out as a visonary build and performing instrument!
