Here’s a couple of photos of a custom bowed psaltery that I’ve just recently completed. You can see from the back that this is the same psaltery that I had written about earlier regarding the linseed oil finish. The back is made of Canarywood with Bloodwood binding.

For the soundboard, Sitka Spruce was used, along with the same Bloodwood for the binding, bridge, and rosette. The center rose is made of Hard Maple, and closely matches the color of the Spruce top.
