A harp soundboard

So while the guitars are being polished and lacquered, I have worked a bit on my harp project. Here´s the soundboard. German spruce. Very stripy quality that doea that i cant sell guitars if I use the wood for that. But the acoustical properties are very good and I have a gut feeling that the stripes will look very good on the harp.
The first picture shows how simple a gluing setup can be. Its a matter of keeping everything level and putting some pressure on the boards.

# 122, 123, and 124 before finishing.

So, here 2 photos of, from the left # 124, 122 and 123 in raw state before French Polish or Lacquer.

#124, a slightly different 2A negra on its way

Here you have a 2A negra with German spruce soundboard, mahogany sides and padauk/mahogany.
Its almost finished and will be for sale
