re: A second stick dulcimer

Well, here it is. Lots of shellac, maybe six coats or seven, and a quick rub with a pumice and mineral oil paste.

It sounds great, very loud and a bit “twangy”… and that wood! To think I almost burned it. Thanks rabbit for spotting it.

I made the tailstock from some aluminum angle ground on my sharpening grinder, painted flat black.

The little wooden knob at the end looks huge in this phito but it seems ok in real life.
