In Topic: Use of Arching PDF's from Luthier's Library
12 September 2012 - 03:59 AM
I've always had the impression, that the arching templates are just cycloids fitted to the length and height of the arches, which don't need to have much in common with the original...
However there are photos of the arches, taken at a low angle with a laser along the arch. These are useful. You can make pretty good templates from these photos, if you know the measurements for the length and height of the arches and guess the angle the photograph was taken at.
The slight distortion due to the angle can easily be corrected in photoshop.

Here is an scroll template I made some time ago.
It is the Titian Strad.

The Sarasate is another Stradivari with an Oppio maple back (Acer campestre, feldahorn) this type of wood, evidently once compressed does not swell back as easily as other species of maple.

I hadn't even realized that the Sarasate has an oppio back. Thanks for pointing it out. That's a pretty good explanation for the scribe lines.
I've got some oppio and will try if scribelines swell back less than on sycamore maple (acer pseudoplatanus).

Yes this really is a super set. It does not show scribe lines but that would be expected of Strad. Thanks!
The Sarasate Strad has many scribelines that can easily be seen on the great photos in the Brandmair/Greiner Stradivari varnish book. There are other Strads with scribelines but on the Sarasate they are very striking.
