Ambrosia's changes



Kitchen on Gabriola Island

All beautiful fir! Full extension drawers with soft close, birch plywood cabinets...
A pleasure to work for those guys! Really.
I shall go back to finish up soon.

Mast


It won't break! It can't.

some upgrades

Still improving the cabin!

harp making

This is an experimental 58 string harp. Its soft fir looking appearance is to fool you of its rigidity and strength. This concept has to handle 1391 lbs of string tension. Its resonating box consists in different thicknesses and layers of eastern maple core, red cedar and fir resulting in a sturdy yet thin plywood. The post and neck are a one piece looking, but actually consist in several such as birch plywood, red oak and fir.
I shall order the hardware from California soon and hopefully there will be no explosion!
