Dont know if you've been following it but our local active Volcano Mt. ST. Helens is due to blow. I was thinking of doing a headstock with the shape of the mountain now. Kinda a double humped with a inlay down the middle of molten lava. Whatcha think?

Sounds like a cool idea! Would this mando be made of 'ash'? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

I was wondering who the first would be to hit that comment about "Ash" http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

You could distress the mando and call it "kicked ash".
Keith, let me try that mando when it's done. Maybe it'll blow me away.

Keith:
Great concept. What about making it an oval hole, with inlays streaming out from the hole that look like lava flows? Also "highly flamed" wood, of course.

If it ended up at my place, any suggestions on how to deal with the tremendous residual aftershocks from Mrs. Mandohack?...
(I fear those would be even more frightening than the initial blast.)

Not messin' in your business here, just having some fun: Are you sure that Mrs. Mandohack is not a Cafe' member? Seriously, I saw a guy busted by his wife on the Cafe' a long time ago. I will tell you this: If Mrs. MandoJohnny let me have half the hardware that you seem to have gotten by Mrs. Mandohack so far, I would be a happy camper. Not to mention the "out" you have of "Oh, honey, this isn't mine, this belongs to the store!"

Keith,
It sounds like a HOT idea and I'm sure it would be a GAS to play http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
It needs a unit to pour smoke out of the F-holes.
-bubbles would just be too silly now, wouldn't it?

Maybe you could add a "Hipshot B-string bender" device. # Install a hollow tube in the neck that ends in the volcano top at the end of the peg head. #Then you could pull down on the strap and chuff smoke (or powder) out the volcano top!

Im really depressed...they downgraded the danger today. If it does actually spew some lava Im seriously gonna make it. All the ideas are good...well bubbles is a stretch.. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
