This one is spruce,spruce,ash. It's 6.95mm thick and weighs 97 grams. Yes it has Hide glue except the handle, that's titebond 3 which is just a waterproof yellow type wood glue. No composites in this one. I am also building a spruce core, maple inner and spruce outer blade so something like what a real violin would be made of.

ZLC smack in the middle of the core. Very interesting. Wonder how it plays?

Learned a lesson today. I made this blade 7mm but after the zlc , new glue and new epoxy it finished at 7.4mm . I made the handle at work and left it solid I also left the blade solid in the handle area as well. It felt balanced but a little on the heavy side. I put it on the scale when I got home and bam 129 grams hahahahaha looks like some OX long pips need to go on this blade lol.
