Wow Scruffy. That not only takes talent, but the dedication and determination to see you task through! I would have persevered for about one hour before giving up! A very commendable job!!!

Gee, Thanks....

The mandolin has a maple back and sides, a three piece maple neck, with a brazilian rosewood fingerboard and ebony bridge.
It sound great and has a tremendous amount of volume.Especially since the body is only one inch deep! it has the chopand volume of a bluegrass carved top and back, yet still has a sweet tone reminiscent of a traditional Celtic style.
I'm pretty pleased with it. I just hope that the owners will play it and treasure it.
