Fantastic!

Woo hoo!! Been checking every day to see if you'd updated, nice to see some pics! Very, very nice - can't wait to see more and hear a sound clip!

Congrats on selling the house . . . been there recently, glad it's behind me.

Nice job on the "distressing" too!

Really cool! You did a great job!

I've been playing my A3 with the Thomastik Heavyies and like that for something different. I also love my A3.

I also love my A3.

The Whitefaced A3 is my new fav mandolin, thanks to this little project...
Just so elegant...

...and I'm a big fan of the type of wood that Gibson picked to cover up with white paint--funky wide grain Picea rubens...

my top is three pieces.

[Spruce]

....guilty.

[Bill Snyder]

Did I skip over the post with a sound clip?

[Spruce]

I don't think i ever did one...
I'll whip one up over this coming weekend...

[Bill Snyder]

Still no sound clip.

Well, it might not have remained his favorite...

I really like Spruce´s contributions (all the Monroe stuff and all).

Whatever happened... could it be, that Spruce just didn´t get to record some music on some of his (great) recording gear (I really like his posts about recording music too).

I also have to admit... I would have liked to record some more and post some (at least some) music and write less. But words are cheap and recording music needs more effort. So after I post some I pick some without recording anything. Maybe I will get things done someday.
