Today I finished up on two custom-ordered bowed psalteries, probably the first time ever I’ve finished two in the same day.

The first one finished was the one with the Western Red Cedar top and Figured Cherry back.

The second one has a dragonfly rose, along with Ebony binding and bridge, and ammonite shell halves inlaid into the Chechen sides.

As you can see from the links within this entry, I’ve posted pictures of both psalteries before, but I also like to add a final picture with the strings on to get a better sense of the finished product.
