I find myself working in spurts. While I waited on the glue to dry, I cut a rough piece of what will become the tailpiece. Whew! Maple is tough stuff to cut by hand.
I left extra wood on the tail of the tailpiece. It will be removed and shaped when I do a final measurement .
Sawing, sawing, sawing.
This chunk of alder is being cut for blanks for keys. The sides of the keybox will be cherry. I'm using the alder for the keys (for now) because I had a chunk of alder and it seems to be workable. Because the keybox won't be glued to the neck of the harpa, I feel I could always go back and make a new keybox.
