Projects

This page will be a contents page for projects I have blogged about. As an easy way of finding the relevant blog posts.

It’s worth noting that I work as a conservator, and as such my “method” may well differ significantly from that of a Luthier, and the aesthetic I am going for maybe significantly different from that you often see on instrument restoration websites… but that’s me… I like ‘old stuff’ I am heavily influenced by an ethnographic feel for objects rather than an artistic feel.
