Carved a bowed lyre

I saw this instrument on TikTok and fell in love the sound so I thought I'd give it a shot. First harvested a log from the nearby creek, it was hard, dense and most importantly not rotten. Using my camp knife, sandpaper, wood glue and a drill for the tuning peg holes it finally came together after about 6 weeks. Fortunately it sounds great after some fine tuning and I'm slowly learning how to play it!
