Igil up date


 A little up date on my on going Igil project. I figured it was a good time to up date since some nasty stuff happened when i was working  on it (but i will save that until the end). Well the project has come a long way since the last post. I have started scooping out the bowl it is way deeper than the plans said it should be but I'm hoping that it will just give it a deeper louder sound. I guess that shows what I know about instrument. :) so far i am still sticking to hand tools except for the drill but thats because i have never seen a hand drill except for in a museum.


these are some close ups of the carvings on the top. I think its turning out.

this is the sound board drilled out. this also were my mega mistake happened. 

As i was drilling out the big hole i took a big chunk out of the back. It was probably a combination of a dull drill bit and pushing to hard. but there is nothing we can do about it now. I have started to do some roughs and figure out what I can do to fix this lil mistake.
