Can't get to my small jumbo Epic Maple Burl Series ribs before I pick up a bit. Does anybody else resent having to clean-up? #CharlesRufino #AntonioStradivari #Stradivarius #FromGoodtoGreat #GAL22 #StringsofJoyNo2 #EpicMapleBurlSeries #Organic #Natural #Asymmetric #OneofaKind #StringInstruments #WoodSculptureYouPlay #handmade #Guitarmaking #Mandolinmaking #Violinmaking #Luthier #AmericanLutherie #Woodwork #Woodworking #NoCNC

Similar to the first & finest Italian Violins, ALL of my Instrument Ribs are intentionally Asymmetric. Irregular, Organic, Imperfect, Natural, Fertile, Beautiful Curves to which the tops and backs must comply. Why; because there is no Bi-Lateral Symmetry to be found in Nature. Speaking only for myself, perfect symmetry is an impossible, futile, pointless, joy-stealing, lifeless, sterile, pursuit. I let go of most things perfect, years ago. #CharlesRufino #AntonioStradivari #Stradivarius #FromGoodtoGreat #GAL22 #StringsofJoyNo2 #EpicMapleBurlSeries #Organic #Natural #Asymmetric #OneofaKind #StringInstruments #WoodSculptureYouPlay #handmade #Guitarmaking #Mandolinmaking #Violinmaking #Luthier #AmericanLutherie #Woodwork #Woodworking #NoCNC
