Spruce top, the body and neck are carved from a single block of maple. Picture of current bridge - the crown shaped one just sounded bad:

Sound sample: Vielle - arch bridge

Wow! That’s seems pretty intense and like an arduous process. How long have you been doing this for?

Im glad that you like it! Well, this was my first instrument ever - if you don't count the 3d printed rebec. This was all learning-by-doing, and with mistakes (I had to redo the top once, and the bridge two times) and experimentation this definitely took me 100+ hours.
