Major Progress on the Sides

My hurdy gurdy now has sides!

I have two beautiful pieces of Honduras mahogany at about 1/8th inch thick that are cut out and are in the process of being sanded to the exact shape needed.

Here are the beauties.

I also got the bottom, walnut, pieces of my gurdy sanded(using a drum sanded) also to the correct thickness! these pieces also look amazing.

I also thought I would assemble (sort of) my pieces to get more sense of what the instrument will look like.



In my opinion I think it is looking good.

(sorry for the blurry picture)

I also think I need to improve the lighting in my shop. A better way of lighting everything is next on my list of stuff to purchase.
