It is really beautiful. Did you do a double thickness on the neck and pillar? A lot of tension can be on them. I have seen them break if not laminated.....
I use solid pieces for them. I can imagine it has more than enough strength for the strings. What seems to be the weakest part is the belly. Or where the strings are attached to in the box. That seems to bend quite a lot. But it's been fine for now. But if you make it for 22 strings it should be perfect. 29 is a little too much for this harp.
