I could be wrong, but that looks like masking tape on the fingerboard

It's "Tone-Tape", designed to isolate the mandolin from contact with your fingers so that the instrument is able to vibrate more freely. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Seriously though that's a sweet looking mando...

Hi Maddog, the stain color you have chosen looks fantstic. I love the stains Andrew uses. The top, the back,the sides and of course the headstock look great. I am sure the excitement is overwheling as your mandolin gets closer to completion. Please post more photos.

Very nice...and the headstock inlay looks fantastic, beats the heck out of a flower pot.

Peace, Mooh.
