That's my TMB! Beware when admiring the work of a builder! BTW Irene, that table looks suspiciously like the fold-up antique sewing table I use with it! I believe the stripes are cherry (your wood) & walnut. It doesn't have the rounded edges & one long side has yardstick markings.
That is so cool, Irene. Nice work. Plantar fasciitis is so painful. Both my husband and I have had it. A physical therapist taught me how to wrap my foot in that stretchy bandage stuff. It really helped. Happy Thanksgiving. Nina
I had plantar fasciitis in my right foot and for several months I'd not been creating in my shop. Sick of having a sick foot. I first made this dulcimer in my mind that night and in the morning went to the shop and did all the woodworking in one day. I had all the parts, except 4 banjo tuners. So here he is. Too thick a sound board, but it's what I had in the shop. Made 3 dulcimers since then and foot is getting much better. YEAH.

I like this lots, Irene! And hope your plantar fasciitis is not giving you grief anymore!
Very nice Irene.

That's a beaut, Irene! Glad your foot's getting better! Building a dulcimer a day seems to keep the doctor away!
