I built a 10 string out of a piece of maple and some parts I bought on ebay. I made a few of the aluminium parts. It has a Jerry Wallace pickup in it. It sounds good but a couple of the middle strings that don't go over the nut to the tuners at much of an angle have some strange harmonics or something going on. If I place more pressure behind the bar with my left hand that takes care of most of the problem.
Mine is tuned to C6. To me six strings is not enough and ten strings is too much.
