Hurdy gurdy

In the mid 90's an interrest in the medieval was blooming and a few from the medieval reenactment club we've joined signed up for a music instrument making class. All the other people in the class were making violins, guitars, or nyckelharpor but Daniel, Nenne and I started making hurdy gurdys.

Inspired by the painting below Nenne started producing her. She never got around to finish it, but a few decades later I got tired of having this UFO (Un-finished Object) laying around and took it to the workshop and finished it.
