This dulcimer is made completely of BLACK WALNUT except for the fret board which is butternut (a cousin of black walnut)
The sound hole is a distinctive vine motif
Please note on the back there are two fissures about 4" long that emanate from the center of two knot holes on either side of the book-matched back (see the photo). This look is not for everyone, but for the person who appreciates wood character and is looking for a very unique instrument, this one is for you

The sound board is quarter-sawn RED SPRUCE from a log that I cut and hauled down from Whitetop Mountain 20 years ago
It is creamy white with a small 1/4" knot hole on the upper end causing no problems
The sound holes are 4 hummingbirds
The rest of the instrument is black walnut
There are 2 or 3 filled hollow elongated worm holes on the right side of the head piece causing no problem whatsoever, just adding a little character (see photo)
The sound is mellow, but not over powering brassy. It has a nice sound and not too loud.

I made this mountain dulcimer out of BUTTERNUT (white walnut)
It is light as a feather and medium brown in color with a vine sound hole design
The sound is loud, very resonant and vibrate
Because of its light weight and sound qualities, the whole dulcimer is alive and responsive
