Strings and back removed

I removed the strings and the back panel of the zither to work on the wood.

As you can see, there are some nasty cracks in the front panel. The back panel had two large cracks and did not survive the removal in one piece.

The small white dots all over the front panel are holes from woodworm (!). Probably old, and dead or moved on by now, but I will treat the wood with woodworm killer just to be sure.
