Well it's in French but the photos are universal. Nice work.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

You can make it English by clicking the little flag. Thanks for the link!

Thanks David; that's a nice site.

I couldn't find the flag, but you can also translate it into english by changing the "=fr" to "=en" in the address bar.

Or, if you want something humerous to read, you can translate it through google. Here is a link. (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.grellier.fr%2Fshop-show.php%3Fpage%3D10%26lang%3Dfr+&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools)

The guy does some super nice work. The inside shots of the gooseneck cutaway are clean as a hound's tooth. I really like his finish work too.

I'm happy that some of you are enjoying the photos, It #does look like a nice guitar.
Interesting and provocative comments too. A good sense of humor is paramount. I found this site linked from a very cool site called # # # # # # # # # # #

#It streams gypsy jazz music without commercials or announcements 24/7. I highly recomend it to anyone who enjoys that style of music.

Hello,
My name is Christophe Grellier.
I had a look at my website stats yesterday, and saw a huge peak of visits coming from this message board.
So here I am.
Thanks for the nice comments.
Yes, Google's translation is pretty strange, but the "stawberry" translation is very logical since "strawberry" and "router bit" both translate to the same french word : "fraise".
Congratulations to all of you who build beautiful mandolins, that, I imagine, is the most difficult steel-string instrument to make.
Have a nice day.

Very nice work Christophe! I enjoyed the picture process on your site.

I also got quite a kick out of the google translation...man that's funny stuff there... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
