coffee and four courses

Within a week, I received my Wildwood A Model from Australia.
It is a bit smaller than my Johnson M100. It is a no-frills instrument. Quick description: neck is made jarrah, top is solid spruce, body is hoop pine with jarra veneer. It has a bone nut and bridge and gotah tuners. The sound is even and clear. Compared to my Johnson, it makes me want to play. It has a bolt on neck. Overall, a hard-to-beat hand made mandolin for $350 including shipping.
Here are a few pictures:
