Sorry I have been absent from SMC for a while. I have not forgotten about you. Here is the latest project. It is a case for a bowed instrument called a Psaltery. I just finished the "woodworking" aspect of it and still have to do the "foam and fabric" aspect of the interior.
It took a bit longer than I had expected, but it seems fairly strong, although not really the kind of case that you would want to leave outside! The frame is cherry and the panels are ambrosia (wormy) maple. The corner braces on the inside are homemade from aluminum and will be completely hidden once the interior is done. I decided to ask the client to work with me on the interior since she is adept at fabrics. Hopefully we can get that done this week.
Finish is shellac, wipe-on-poly, and wax.
