A Marimba I built last year - took me a bit over half a year to complete. 61 keys made of Padauk, all hand-tuned, on a frame of Red Oak and Walnut (lemmy.ml)

Lemmy doesn't seem to have any popular woodworking subreddits, so I thought I'd post here. Just deleted my reddit account and want to contribute some content here!

It was probably around $500 for the wood in total. Hard to say exactly, I didn't keep close track and I had a fair bit left over

Probably could have done it for cheaper if I was more careful about what I bought and did the whole thing in bulk from the beginning
