After a 4-year hiatus, the Luthiers Consortium will again be at the winter NAMM Show displaying guitars and mandolins made by a...
It is very rarely necessary to refinish a milky area, or even to sand the finish (BTW, you can't go from 220 grit to 600 grit. But don't use the 220 on it at all). There is a pretty standard...
Probably not a sealing issue. Probably heating the wood is causing off-gassing. Keep it at a constant temperature before and after spraying.
Never heard of "red" ebony. Has it got any other names?
Every so often, you get someone at the gate who points to that little box that carryons in theory must fit in. I have found that it helps at these times to prostrate yourself and beg. This embarasses...

Your 2 cents worth could be at least in part from fret wear (was it more in tune when the frets were less worn?). #As they wear, the nut becomes relatively higher, and that will throw the lower frets...
I am an experienced maker of guitars, including archtop jazz guitars. #I want to start building mandolins and would like to get advice about the different plans that are available. #So far I have...
