Violin making: experimental f-holes

Since there was some time ago since my last update, I thought it would be a good time now to share with you some experimental f-holes for the violin!

Some are made only for laughs, and for the fun of it; and some I think would actually work.

Far left you see the Guarneri f-hole 1734, and where it is supposed to be situated next to the center bout. The rest are my more experimental ones. For the second image I've taken a Guarneri f-hole and erased the part between the two circular holes that ends the f-hole. Theoretically this might be an improvement when it comes the the varnishing process, since the varnish likes to stick in the small spaces in the f-hole. Just for the fun of it I've named it Guarneri v. 2.0...

Take care!
