Walnut Thomas with a Possum Board
I had to set out the Welcome Mat for this chilly Thomas dulcimore and its possum board! They didn't want to come outside today, but I got the photos done anyway. It's heading for County Sligo, in faraway Ireland!
Walnut Thomas dulcimer "Peace"
This was completed just today in my shop. The verse is from the book of Isaiah: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee." It's all walnut with hand-carved tuning pegs.
"Glory" Cherry Galax
Here's an all-cherry Melton type Galax dulcimer that I just completed. It's name is "Glory", and was purchased by a ranch worker near Durango. It has a "racing stripe" down the back, for playing fast tunes!
Maple and spruce Galax dulcimer
This is a maple and spruce Galax dulcimer I just finished, of the Raymond Melton type. It's new owner lives in Galax, Virginia of all places. It should feel right at home! It has the 5-Star geared tuners that are so beautiful and easy to use.
"Long Tom" poplar hourglass dulcimer
This is "Long Tom", my latest Thomas dulcimer. I know, it looks just like so many others of mine, but here it is nevertheless. It's heading to California Friday.
