Not traditional construction in any way. Eastern red cedar, maple for the mouth piece, light walnut for center block.

Learned tons from it. As my first drone flute it is far from perfect. It is essentially two flutes you play as one. I made it in the note of E.

Things that are off:
The top note on the playing flute is E flat. So when the two flutes harmonize they sound a little off. To make it sharper I would need to make the finger hole bigger but it is already fairly large so leaving it as is. Also I made the mouth holes to far apart. Really needs to be way closer to play comfortably.

Four coats of poly. Had a little bit of run so need to lightly sand tomorrow and apply another coat.

Black walnut for the box. Carving done in cherry and it is 6" x 4.25" x .25".

Lithophane riser is in padauk. I make my lithophanes with my 3d printer. Still needs a bit of sanding and maybe a a little bit more detail in other areas.

Doing kids and grans to give to the parents. Used one of Oscars patterns and added centerline names. Hardest part was getting enough depth on the name to allow doing colored epoxy pours. Will drill small holes and add green tree hangers when all are done.

Real happy with the pattern and the carving.

Carved in walnut.

Board is 10"x10"x.75". Carving is 8" x 8" x .4" and 2 coats of semi gloss lacquer.

Think I'll add the pattern to my pattern depot store.
