Thanks Jim, I decided to string it up, just to see how it played. Very nice sound, lots of volume. I still don't know how I am going to finish it, I have no idea how Eli did it.

very nice indeed, Kevin.

Thanks Patty, Dan I am not sure what Eli used as there is little info. on him. I am thinking of doing a paint wash (sorta thinned down and used as a stain) then an oil finish over top. In the only picture I have of Eli's dulcimer it is finished very dark, He may have painted it black like the Prichard he used as his inspiration . We will see.

Kevin, looks like another good one . I see what you're saying about the sound holes. I'm glad you stayed true to his pattern because I'm curious as to how it will sound.
