    Re: Lignum Vitae

    Natural lubricant makes it excellent for making clocks. Read Longitude. John Harrison built a clock out of LV and nearly 300 years ago that runs to this day.

    Re: My New Mando: Shawnee Creek #43

    Very nice overall, and that back is stunning.
  4. Re: Mike Holmes at Shawnee Woodworks has started my mandolin!

    Agreed on the tuning bit. 4 months in with mine, and there days I only have to tweak a string or two before I play.

    As for the second part above, I couldn't agree more. Mike said something to me...

    Agreed. You should be taking possession soon, no?
  8. Re: Mike Holmes at Shawnee Woodworks has started my mandolin!

    Looking good, Ron. The headstock design is tasteful.

    I can't tell from the photo, but did you opt for full binding? I didn't, but haven't regreted it one minute. The sound is super all the...

    Re: about Jeff Parker

    Agreed. I saw the band in St. Louis in January, and my wife and I spoke to Jeff after the show. He is an exceptional mandolin player, and very good with fans.
  12. Re: Mike Holmes at Shawnee Woodworks has started my mandolin!

    That top is taking shape nicely. Just remember, Ron: breath in, breath out, repeat...

    Keep 'em coming. :popcorn:
  13. Re: Mike Holmes at Shawnee Woodworks has started my mandolin!

    I got pictures about every 3-4 weeks. I do like to watch a mandolin take shape. Especially my own. ;^>
  14. Re: Mike Holmes at Shawnee Woodworks has started my mandolin!

    Hang in there. Mine was worth the wait. Tough to put it down. I am thoroughly satisfied.

    Re: New Shawnee Creek

    Thanks all.

    Ed, the woods are all what is spec'd on Mike's website. Adirondack red spruce on top, red maple sides, and back. (Well, I'm pretty sure the back is red maple, now that you ask... ...

    New Shawnee Creek

    I picked up my mandolin from Mike Holmes in late January. We had a great visit, and I got to bring home my new F-style. I have had a hard time putting it down. Last week's snowstorm allowed me a...
  17. Re: Heat? Check. Mando? Check. World ending snowstorm....

    For what it's worth... There are thousands of trained volunteers who take proper measurements of snowfall that can allay lot's of media hype (a 4 foot drift is just that---a drift...) Look at the...

    Re: My Michael Kelly Legacy O

    Looks like a good one. Thanks for the review. I do believe I played one of those when I was on my search for an upgrade several years back. It was in the running, but came up a wee bit short (for...
