Never made a bee sting before-here's my first. Nick Lloyd walked me through it.

Those who say hide glue isn't as potent as other types of glue obviously haven't read this post. |

Why for "bee sting"? Does that just refer to the purfling or the whole corner treatment (almost all the violin corners I seen were sorta "squared off" at the corner). Is this the lion's head scroll bass?
is it sold yet? | Bee sting refers to the black only protrusion from the miter of the purfle. There are different styles in terms of the amount of curve and the angle of the dangle. I'm not sure where mine falls but I didn't have much reference or experience in the matter-it came out OK as far as I'm concerned.
It's true the vast majority of fiddles have squared corners. I've seen allotta old basses with rounded ones and I like the look. I guess it is a style thing. I am sure the judges at the ISB competition will hate it.
Yeah, this is Bubba's bass. |

That bee sting came out phat, dude. Can't hardly tell you used the Foredom Tool and Tom Croen's purfling jig to cut the channel. (Oh, sh*t, I wasn't supposed to mention that.)
That's some fine figure, too. Is it bigleaf from....? |

That's mighty nice work with the knife, tho. Can I call when my purfle needs cutting out? I don't think I'd even need whiskey with knife work that clean.
