7-String Lyre Making: Final Bridge Fitting

Описание: I usually make my bridges from a split piece of birch, planed, cut , filed, stained and Linseed oiled.
Second and final fitting after varnishing and string fitting to make a final match to the soundboard. 180 grit used here with protective sheet of paper

Full tutorial to make one of these will follow later this year as my lyre Making series resumes:
