Hello all.
I was recently watching a video on the FWW site regarding the Chicago School of Violin Making. For the finish it was mentioned that a traditional finish for violins (in some cases) started with a coat of a propolis based sealer coat. This coat added a nice patina to the final finish. As a beekeeper and woodworker this peaked my interest. Has anyone had any experience of knowledge of using bee propolis in wood finishing? I would love to learn more about it. I have been doing some searches on the web but was hoping to hear from some of the members on this forum.
Thanks,
Brian
