Mock lute done

Well gosh darn and blimey, it’s done. The C and E strings are doubled and that is a revelation - I love the tuning and the six strings. 

Its geometry fought me during the build but I prevailed. 



I watched a video of a builder making bowl backed instruments and thought I understood it, but I had to use some force to get it together. The contrasting wood is walnut. 



My customer asked for one thing in the first email, that the peghead would have a less acute angle. Guess what, I forgot. So sorry David, there will be a discount!



I used a guitar bridge pin as an end pin to get the right scale.
