- Marc Soubeyran’s viola chinrest made from OneOak wood
Marc used an offcut (leftover piece) from another OneOak maker, Waywood Furniture, to make a chinrest for a viola. During the OneOak exhibition at Art in Action in July, Marc put the finishing touches to the chinrest using tiny woodworking tools. The chinrest has gone appropriately to violin and viola player Anna Hemery, who composed the OneOak music and played in the ‘OneOak trio’ (the music is available on the homepage).
I’ve been following this project with great interest. Do you know if it would be possible to get a small offcut to make a walking stick handle? I could then donate the proceeds from the sale of a completed stick.
