Your choice of wood looks absolutely stunning.

Thank you. I don't usually use such figured wood, but maybe it helps the sound.

I was working on this last summer when Chet Bishop was finishing his - didn't expect it would take so long.

Some varnishes will settle out, some won't.

I think that often I do another wash in a 2nd container of fresher solvent before the alcohol, just in case the 1st vat didn't get the varnish.

Take a coffee can and a piece of 1/2" galvanized wire netting. Cut the netting in a circle of a diameter 1" or so bigger than the can. Crimp the edges of the netting so that when you put it in the can it stands about 1" above the bottom of the can. Fill the can 3/4 full with mineral spirits (why waste turpentine for cleaning brushes?) Brush the brush against the mesh to get out the varnish or paint, which settles to the bottom of the can leaving the layer of solvent above the screen relatively clean. Do this scrubbing a few times, then shake out the brush, and rinse in denatured alcohol. Shake again and wash the brush with dish washing soap.

I hope this helps.
