Nice, Bratsche !
Very good to know, that the Texas knife celluloid works well. It is such good knews, to know that it is still available and for a reasonable price.
About flammability: I always work on my lap, just where I am, do not go outside specifically for it. I think it will burn, when it gets fire. Pingpong balls are made of celluloid as well and they burn in a moment to nothing, when we experimented in childhood. Maybe because of that story it has it's name of being flammable. But you can smell the camphor, isn't it ?
How do you like the thickness? And what did you do for polishing?
I like the shape of your plectrum. What do you mean with "I decided not to round it too much at first" ? It seems to be nice. If I see it well, the two points have a bit difference in being round/pointy. My last one by coincidence as well. By this you can try out what you like, it gives a bit different sound.
Jim, my piece is good enough, maybe the piece of Bratsche is a bit thicker and even better.
