Calling this new mountain dulcimer "April" (my build for this month),  Started with carving the Tuning Scroll of Black Walnut. I've joined the planks for the Curly Maple top and Black Walnut bottom, and bent the walnut sides. I made this simple but great primitive bending jig that worked quite well. (The idea came to me earlier in the week just as I was waking up in the morning)
Today maybe finish the Tuning Scroll and make the tail so the sides can be attached. I purchased a ready-made Walnut Finger Board that I may use, or make my own again... not sure yet, no rush.
