Plan and Fret

My wife asked me for a mountain dulcimer as a Christmas gift in 2011. I had made a couple 20 years ago, but I didn’t have any plans so I used the fold some paper and cut out a pattern to fit a fret scale. Since this time, I have done additional study on older models and I have designed a new pattern and form based on J. Edward’s style of the hourglass dulcimer. May be a good project for 2017-18?
