Pegbox

The original treble-viol has a venetian style scroll. For an early instrument like this I like a more archaic sickle-shaped pegbox more. Instead of a scroll I try to carve a lynx-head.
On the picture on the left some sketches and the raw form. On the right the state on this moment.
Carving figures like this is new to me so I'm not certain what the result will be.
It takes a lot of patience and very sharp tools to succeed...
