This is a new custom caved 30 string nylon harp under construction. It is being built from Myrtle wood. tech carved parts will have various gem stones , some with gold settings, as part of the carved shapes, and flowing whirls of wood. The stones include diamonds, amethyst, citrines, rubies and sapphires.

In these first  shots, I have just laminated the extra wood needed to allow me to carve the final shapes from. teh last two pictures show the carving part way done.
