Your creations amaze me, Ken. Thank you for posting.

Ken, That's awesome! Beautiful work and I love the painting!

[Scott Crabtree]

Sleep in the stars, beautiful!

That painting is amazing! Great work Ken!

[Rob Fowler]

Wow, Ken that really is an amazing painting! How long does it take you to do a painting with that much detail? Awesome!

[Cheryl Watson]

This is a masterpiece! Ken, I hope (hint-hint) that you can post a video on You Tube so we can see/hear it in action.

Ken, I say this simply out of interest at how different peoples' tastes and preferences can be. I love the mandolin - from the front - but personally don't care for the painting one little bit.

Different strokes for different folks, as they say. But I'd still love to hear how it sounds - and I still envy the heck out of your ability to build such a beautiful instrument.

I normally don't feel one way or another about the paintings, but that one is spectacular. Nice job.

[Kentuckyken]

It takes a couple of days to paint that, all day, many hours, then several days to wait for it to dry before the oil varnish goes on. I realize it isn't for everybody, it isn't meant to be...........I just do whatever I feel liike doing.

And fair enough and well done for pursuing your own creative dreams and urges. If I lived to be three hundred I'd never be able to paint like that!

Very nice work Ken. Its the first that really catches my attention. Well done!

[Mark Walker]

Ken - that's another beauty! Is that a new/different tailpiece? Looks like it says 'Silverangel' on it. That's sweet-looking too!
Keep up the great work!

[Satchel]

Yes Ken- Tell us about the tailpiece...I'm interested in one of those for my Angel.

Great looking mandolin!

[Kentuckyken]

It's a James Tailpiece with "The Silverangel" engraved on it. I normally use Orrico, but can't engrave them, both are fine talipieces though, works of art really...........

[bobbyburns]

Ken, I appreciate your abilities. I always liked your older, not quite gibson "F" styled mandos with the paintings, and your distressed finishes too. You do a very good job of keeping them looking classic and original at the same time. I bet Lloyd couldn't have painted one of those either.

[Chip Booth]

I don't normally care for paintings on a mandolin, but I like this one. What's the mandolin's name Ken?

[Kentuckyken]

the name is
"Anadine'.........
