We had a lovely bike ride around Buttermere here in Cumbria yesterday. It was good to feel the heat if the sun. Unfortunately covid19restrictions are being eased soon and I fear it will be mayhem.

Thanks.
I'm messing on with the fret board at the moment.I've gone for hollow but deliberating as weather to open up the sound board or not.
Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks Robin. It whiles away the 'lockdown' hours.
Here is the back. Plenty left to do.

Ok I'm going to try again via the add attachment button to post sound holes. Took it with the selfie camera lens hoping it would be small enough

I just thought natural knot and Celtic knot. But I know my limitations

I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to tech. I'm using a old iPad but I'm sure you are right. I'll get one of the grandkids to teach me.
anyway I've attached the back and am going to take your advice about hole position. A Celtic knot would be appropriate but too complicated
for me. So round holes it'll be.

Done it again. Picture too big, that's the top half of my first attempt at a dulcimer.

Knot holes but do I need to add extra holes?

Very nice but far to complicated for this absolute beginner.

Peter W.:These are the soundholes of my modified Cedar Creek kit dulcimer. I drilled them myself yesterday. A simple, timeless design made with three wood drills of 6, 12 and 18 mm (about 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 inches).
I'm new to this dulcimer making and I am agonising about cutting sound holes in cedar. I thing I'm going to follow your pattern but with 
15, 8 and 6mm drills as I have those. I my get more adventurous in future projects.
