Dear Rob,
Thank you again fr ths.
Having pondered your views, I think you misunderstand the nature of Stand
Oil: being so extremely viscous it does not penetrate the wood to any
significant degree. Indeed, its characteristics are closer to a stiff varnish
(be it oil or the
Nonwithstanding the above, an earlier email mentions that David Van
Edwards suggests using oil on bellies and, since he is widely recognised
as being one of the finest lute makers around today, you may also care
to reflect on this advice..
Linseed Oil has an ancient history of
Thank you fr this. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear: by having an 'ancient
history' I did not mean an history going back to antiquity (Greek/ Roman etc)
but a long history of usage (in Europe). First (European) use in the 1400s,
as you report, is quite old enough for me to give it a

Well, you say this but, I beg to differ having used plain Stand Oil (as I
already described -clearly) for many years (and I know others who use it).
Perhaps there's some difference between US Stand Oil and what we have in
England - after all, I thought you originally said that Stand
Dearest Martyn,
My dear fellow, I fear that we disagree on so many points that this forum
fails to provide sufficient room or expediency to carry on the debate. I'm
sure Mr. Van Edwards is a wonderful builder and having reflected on his
advice I'm equally sure that someone has misunderstood him,
Dear Rob,
Thank you fr ths.
As said previously, and repeated again in my recent eml on ths to Roman T,
stand oil, if sufficiently oxidised, will not soak into and permeate the wood;
it will provide just the sort of surface film I understand you're seeking. If
using this there's
Hi all,
I assume most of those ranting here have in fact tried to apply oil
to their soundboards. I have. Therefore I cannot believe that a small
quantity of drying oil does any harm AT ALL to the sound of the
finished instrument. Soundboard thickness is in the order of
magnitude of 1.5
Not sure about Fronimo, but there are .tab versions of a number of standard
duets, including the two you mention, on Wayne's site (assuming it hasn't
changed since the last time I checked).

According to a colleague who was a paintings conservator at the Met Museum,
linseed oil's acidic PH will react corrosively with alcaline one of such
durable fiber as linen (if unprimed/sized).
Linen is a lot more durable than spruce, to be sure.

Roman,
I really hate to disagree, but how come that violins 500 years old
have survived with their drying oils based varnishes though made of
spruce and maple?
