<p>OLD WOOD carefully processes these complex dyes to create two unique golden hues. Golden Yellow is the most vibrant, with bright orange tones. This plant originates from Central America and belongs to the Asteraceae family.</p> <p>The Aztecs used it as their primary dye for yellow-orange shades, as described in the 16th-century Florentine Codex compiled by Friar Bernardino de Sahagún. The codex mentions that Xochipalli was the Nahuatl name for these dyes obtained from the petals of Cosmos sulphureus, a plant that grows in Mexico.</p> <p>The primary coloring agent in Cosmos sulphureus is the pentahydroxy chalcone hexoside, a flavonoid of the anthochlorine type commonly known as coreopsin. However, the plant also provides color through additional flavonoids, such as isoquercitin and luteolin glycosides.</p> <p>OLD WOOD meticulously subjects these complex dyes to a careful process to create two golden hues, one with greenish oak nuances (Golden Oak) and the other more yellow with bright orange accents (Golden Yellow). Both are characterized by their extreme transparency, vibrancy, warmth, and vitality.</p>

<p>OW Siccative is a meticulously balanced blend of siccatives ideal for luthiers crafting their own varnishes or utilizing siccatives-free varnishes.</p> <p>This additive seamlessly integrates with linseed and walnut oils, traditional constituents of string instrument varnishes.</p> <p>OW Siccative ensures uniform drying, regardless of varnish thickness, fostering durability and flexibility while sidestepping tensions and optimizing drying time. Its addition to varnish is a quick and effortless process.</p> <p>This formulation features non-toxic metallic elements, an odorless solvent base, and a high flash point, free from lead, cobalt, or aromatic compounds. The recommended dosage entails adding 5ml (equivalent to approximately 40 drops) of OW Siccative per 100ml of oil in the varnish, with a suggestion to incorporate it into the solvent used for viscosity adjustment, guaranteeing thorough and efficient dilution within the varnish.</p> <p>Keep in mind that the overall drying duration is contingent upon factors such as oil quantity, film thickness, environmental conditions (humidity, temperature), and radiation type (solar vs. UV).</p>

It can be diluted with white spirit, turpentine and with OW Thinner (see “raw materials”).</p> <p>Due to the quality of the oils used, they give the varnish excellent properties regarding levelling, drying and resistance to external agents. The physical properties of the finish will also depend on carrying out a correct curing or drying of the applied coating.</p> <p>During drying, in addition to the evaporation of the solvents oxidation, oxidation reactions also occur with the oxygen in the air. This auto-oxidation is controlled in all our varnishes by a correct selection of secants that guarantee a homogeneous drying on the entire thickness of the applied coating.</p> <p>We recommend drying our oil-based varnishes in an UV chamber.</p> <p># References: Heraclitus.

<p>Ferdinando Garimberti (1885-1956), a luminary in the realm of violin making, apprenticed under the guidance of masters Romeo and Riccardo Antoniazzi. His journey continued with influential stints at the workshops of Leandro Bisiach and Giuseppe Pedrazzini before establishing his own atelier in Milan around 1920. Here, he not only crafted new violins but also honed his expertise in restoring antique instruments.</p> <p>Garimberti's artistic legacy, marked by extraordinary craftsmanship and an unwavering attention to detail, is notably consistent over time. His creations bear the hallmark of elegance and a meticulous eye for intricacies. Frequently opting for the highest quality materials, he often favored one-piece backs, showcasing a commitment to excellence.</p> <p>The varnish on Garimberti's violins, characterized by its varying color and consistency, typically exhibits an enchanting orange-red hue. This distinctive palette, a testament to his artistic choices, adds a unique allure to his instruments. Many of Garimberti's masterpieces proudly carry a signed label and brand, solidifying their authenticity.</p> <p>The color we offer, crafted by Academia Cremonensis and brought to life by Old Wood Company, pays homage to Garimberti's legacy. Inspired by his penchant for rich and deep red tones, this distinctive hue is a nod to the exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to detail that defined Ferdinando Garimberti's contributions to the world of violin making.</p>

<p>Refractive ground is a transparent amber ground that provides a “permanent moist effect”.</p> <p>Refractive Ground deeply protects and illuminates the wood.</p> <p>It is a transparent amber compound that provides a refractive index similar to wood. For that reason it enhances and highlights to the maximum the light refractive process generating an “optical effect of depth” on the wood’s surface, developing a “permanent wet effect” on the annual rings, as well as on their resinous and amorphous formations.</p> <p>Its optimum penetration in the superficial layer of the wood avoids the saturation of the fibres, achieving an incomparable luminosity in depth.</p>

<p>Doratura Minerale is a ground that incorporates mineral compounds into the wood, enhancing the instrument's underlying golden hues, along with an oleo-resinous base that facilitates its homogeneous and uniform application.</p> <p>On one hand, with the introduction of a mineral stratum, the wood's pores are saturated, contributing to improving the wood's characteristics and protection. The coloring provided by these components introduces new nuances of color and increases the luminosity of the final finish.</p> <p>The distribution of the particle size of these minerals creates different levels of refractive indexes between the layers and substrate (the wood itself), favoring the desired dichromatic effect.</p> <p>On the other hand, the transparent vehicle used uniformly fixes these loads and promotes the correct leveling of the application.</p>

<p>Willow has been chosen for its acoustic characteristics and workability. Here are some of the main reasons:</p> <p>Acoustics: Willow wood is renowned for its excellent acoustic properties. It possesses a good sound transmission capacity and a favorable sound response. These qualities are extremely important for the cello's back plates as they contribute to generating the desired tone and projection of the instrument.</p> <p>Flexibility: Willow wood is flexible and can be easily shaped by luthiers to achieve the desired shape and thickness. Flexibility is crucial for sculpting the back plates so they resonate harmoniously with the other parts of the cello.</p> <p>Lightweight: The back plates need to be light to allow the cello to vibrate freely and produce high-quality sound. Willow wood is lightweight but durable enough to withstand the stresses a cello undergoes during play.</p> <p>Availability: Willow wood is readily available in many regions, making it easier for luthiers to source.</p> <p>History and Tradition: The luthier tradition has used willow wood for centuries, and it has been proven to work well for building cellos and other bowed instruments. Luthiers often adhere to tradition to ensure the sound quality of the instruments they construct.</p> <p>In summary, willow wood is a traditional and popular choice for making the back plates of cellos due to its exceptional acoustic qualities, workability, and durability, as well as its historical significance in lutherie. These qualities contribute to the creation of an instrument with a rich and full sound.</p>

<p>Well-suited for work with all hardwoods in the making of musical instruments as well as artistic carpentry and chair- and model making. With bodies of vibrant, grained Macassar ebony and polished brass caps, HSS blades (64 HRC). Flat, concave, convex, boat-shape, round-base.</p> <p>Traditional Chinese Planes</p> <p>'The basic design of the Chinese plane is similar to the Japanese Kanna. The major difference is that the Chinese plane can be used on either the pull or the push stroke, whereas the Japanese Kanna can only be used on the pull stroke. The larger Chinese planes have a cross-handle to facilitate push stroke use (which can be removed for use on the pull stroke). The blades are held in place using a wedge or cap. The slightly wave-shaped plane bodies are made of Indonesian redwood*. The uncoated surfaces are worked using scrapers and are polished. The plane blades are made of wear-resistant HSS (approx. 64 HRC), or forged carbon steel (approx. 58 HRC) for special-purpose planes, which make Chinese planes visually appealing and solid all-round tools. Unless otherwise stated, the blade angle is 40°.</p> <p>* unless otherwise stated</p> <p></p> <p>Blade width 18 mm</p> <p>Blade thickness 2.2 mm</p> <p>Overall length 90 mm</p> <p></p>

Angles and mitres can be positioned exactly in relation to one another to connect precisely with one another.
