  1. Stand for a harpsichord

    This is a stand for a harpsichord my brother is making. It can be disassembled by unscrewing the knobs at the end. That way it can be transported easily. It is made of white oak that I stained with General Finishes Early American stain (they just discontinued this! Ugh!) I then applied True...

  5. Harpsichord, a small one

    I started it 10 years ago Well, this all started 10 years ago. I started my first musical instrument and ended up getting in way over my head. My ego, knowing no bounds, thought if I was going to put so much time into a project it may as well be the best. Well, to make a long story short, my...
