One element that was missing from my original Stick Dulcimer DVD was a cutting list, It is of course possible to work out what sizes you need from the plans and I had left that out. Here is a general guide for future reference, These are the finished sizes so please allow for final sanding or planing by adding a little to the length,
Neck: Gdg 492mm Long 26mm-28mm thick and 32 depth
Dad 560mm Long 26mm-28mm thick and 32 depth
Body sides: 410 Long by 28mm wide and 1.5/1.8mm thick (X 2)
Front and back: 350 long by 135mm wide and 3mm thick
Fingerboard: Gdg 382mm by 26/28mm by 5.5mm
Dad 430mm by 26/28mm by 5.5mm
Fingerboard: Gdg 382mm by 26/28mm by 5.5mm
Dad 430mm by 26/28mm by 5.5mm
Please note, you can make the neck of of several pieces to build up the heel and head, you can also utilise scraps from a guitar and join up several pieces for the backs.
