Oval No. 14
Another Flat top (15' Radius) X braced instrument built with a top cut from reclaimed Fir (see description of No. 13.) It had a bright and lively tone with good projection. It was pretty and fun to play and I hope it's bringing musical joy to whoever bought it. Unfortunately I only have these two images of it.
