Nice lines... Did you design it yourself? Sure would like to see a
bigger picture but it looks like you did a nice job on it..

Howdy,

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I did design it myself, but there was not much to that
in fact:

I purchased a Yamaha Silent Fiddle, and then modified it to
make it much narrower.

Next, I placed it on paper, placed a bow on it, and traced
it in every dimension.

Then, I built up a block of MDF, and bandsawed out the shape
I needed.

I glassed over that leaving the top exposed.

Finally, I put some resist on the upper edge, and glassed
the top over the side making a shoebox sort of arrangement.

Some foam inside, some fairing and paint outside, and I have
what you saw.

It works incredibly well...

All the best,
