Grapejuice Dragonfly
November
16th

All done. 
Well, in case you can’t see from the pictures, this psaltery was made with both Purpleheart sides and trim - which reminded me of grape juice. The rose is a laser-cut plywood circle in the shape of a dragonfly.
This was my first time buffing Purpleheart up to a high gloss, and I was surprised at how good it looked. It looks really elegant.
Also, I tried to find the greenest opal I could, though it still is sort of aqua under some angles, but does have strong flashes of green at the right angles. You can take a closer look at the opal and moonstone markers in the bottom picture.
I haven’t had a chance to hear how it sounds yet, but the body sure did humm when it was being buffed! It seemed to have a good response.

That’s really beautiful! Is that Becky’s instrument?
