Cutting f-holes sound holes on a hardanger fiddle
This is how I cut them:
After roughly carving the top, I drill the four holes.
The small ones from the outside, and the big ones from the inside.
Then I fully shape the arching, but the f-holes sound holes are still only rough
Carving out the inside
