Celtic harp - addition to the orchestra

IMG_2748

Had to make one for my celtic harp friend.
The harp shape is based on the one at: File:Celtic harp.svg - Wikimedia Commons
The celtic designs are from: https://svgsilh.com/

Set black to cut; green to score; red to engrave.
string panel - on clear acrylic; the rest on cherry ply. Both medium proofgrade.
Optional back panel if you want to use this as an ornament, pendant, or keychain. It’s about 3" tall.

Sure was! Thanks. Converting it to a box now, where the lid features the harp - with the center cut through and the acrylic strings glued to the inside. My harp friend’s Christmas present is all set…

LOVE!

Did you glue the strings in with CA?

The strings are score lines on clear acrylic - giving the illusion of strings. Yes, I do glue the layers with Bob Smith Ind Gold glue - it doesn’t fog the acrylic.

It’s wonderful! Now I can’t decide which I like better—guess I’ll have to make them both!
