Making the Amati King Replica 2

Several friends asked me to show details of the painting done on the Amait King, before and after the oil varnish was applied.  The painting was done by my superhero friend Giorgio, with help from my parents, my wife Aleksandra, and friend Lucia.  I painted the letters and applied the gold leaf.  The back of the scroll was painted by my wife Aleksandra.  We worked in beautiful collaboration, and the cello was completed over a period of three years.
