Cherry Dulcimer Walking Cane

I have started a Cherry Dulcimer that will also double as a walking Cane . Here are several pics showing the progress of the build . Below is the headstock beefed up to double as a cane handle .



Below is the back layout and reinforced .



The next pic shows the headstock after its been sanded and shaped . Note it has a back strip in the tuner area for additional strength . It will make it a smidgen harder to string , but should make it stronger.



The next pic shows the dulcimer glued together and the F holes placed and cut.




This one is solid cherry , top back sides all cherry . I'm not sure how it will sound but hopefully good.



The headstock mounted and ready for the walnut trim and a little idea I have cooking in my mind for the next post .




Thanks for stopping by . Hope you enjoyed your short visit.
