Master instrument artisan Takao Iwai has shared two documentary-style videos capturing the full handcrafting process of a violin and a cello, each built over six months from a single block of wood. The footage walks through every stage of cutting, carving and finishing, and the results are as visually compelling as they are technically remarkable. Both videos are worth your full attention.
