Curly Maple Bowed PsalteryHere’s a few shots of a custom psaltery that I just finished: the whole body of the psaltery is made of curly maple, and this would also include the top. The rosette is laser-cut and made of hard maple, and the ring surrounding it is made from burled walnut. (Much like the ring in this post.) The binding and bridge are made of black walnut.

Curly Maple Bowed PsalteryAs you can see, both the top and back are from figured curly maple. All pieces were cut from the same board. This psaltery also has a rear soundhole and a tripod mount insert.
