Description
One of a set of three kantele-like zithers I made recently.
It's got 14 strings, and it's made from scraps from the boat builders... Oak, ash & heat treated birch.
Finish with roslagsmahogny (?sp in English?), a mixture of turpentine, tar and linseedoil.
The sides have a carved inlay inspired by ob ugric peoples, the Khanti and the Mansi (also called the Ostyak and the Vogul in the past). You can't see it in the pic, but the design on the other side is a negative from the one you can see here.
All carving & surface tooling made with my selfmade chisels, oh the love
