Enjoy this 30+ minute mandothon. Nate is a good friend of mine and we always have a blast playing music.

I also want to mention that I am working on some lesson material and would like to know...

Hey fellow mando nuts. I was invited at the last minute to showcase my work at the Swannanoa Gathering this year. I'll have a few mandolins, a guitar and some armrests with me. I'll also be carving...

Sadly, it's often the beginner mandolins that need the most work. It can range from $50 to a number that exceeds the value of the instrument. You won't know until you take it to a trusted luthier....

A rare grouping. The two on the right are being prepped for finish and the A is my first oval hole. Big sound!

Hey everyone. I have started a mandolin lesson series on YouTube and decided to post the videos here as well. My idea was to put out some things that have significantly influenced my playing shown...

Too funny. I just want enough strength to carry 10 mandolins with me wherever I go.

Finishing this batch out of order for various reasons. It's just how it worked out.

Oh and one more. Tyler send me these clips of the three point last night. I wish I could put them up there with the other clips but it isn't letting me edit my previous post.

I'll be there showcasing a few of my mandolins. I'm really looking forward to it. Is there any coming from/through Nashville that would like to car pool?

With the power of magnetism!

Sure thing. Just sent you a PM. Sorry for taking so long.

No I wont have any A style mandos with me...

Here is the latest from Nashville. Red spruce/red maple with a compound board, hand rubbed burst and varnish. My changes are slowly adding up on each of the instruments I have finished over the past...

I suppose I'll add to the continuing french polishing theme...

Awesome work to you guys above!

Jim,

Thanks so much. This will be a sunburst and varnish mandolin. This is my 13th instrument but technically this is #10. The owner of this mando lives about 20 minutes from Swannanoa so he is...

Here is a video of my latest mando as promised. It had strings on it for a few days at this point.

It has been a while since I've been in here. I've been busy! I'm looking to string this up in the white before the weekend. Maybe I'll do a little recording and post it next week. Enjoy!

Enjoy the mandolin! It's not your fault the thread took a turn down this road. Its the fault of the fella that failed to examine the implications of making such a deceptive marketing move.
