A few pictures Ben sent of my mando in progress. It is drying now and should be delivered the week after Thanksgiving.

Ben took this pic in black and white, his flash was acting up and made everything orange so he took this shot, kind of a cool effect.

Say, I saw your mando-in-progress just under three weeks ago. Enjoy. I'm sure it will be yummy.

Thanks Eugene, I'm really chomping at the bit right now, especially seeing pictures of #53.

well, any news?

**dj9124** · Dec-03-2005, 5:46pm

Well there was a little delay, Ben will finish the buffing on Monday so hopefully just a few more days now. He sent me a couple quick shots to show the color this morning but I have not had a chance to post them yet, hopefully will be able to do that tomorrow.

Here is a small sample Ben sent showing the color and quilt.

How absolutely astounding that quilting is; where do I sign up? I am fascinated by "quilted" maple!

**Scotti Adams** · Dec-04-2005, 3:52pm

..kinda puts me in the mind of this one...Quilt is a very beautiful thang..

**dj9124** · Dec-04-2005, 4:39pm

I am anxious to see the whole thing. The thing I like about quilt is it looks 3 dimensional.

..I know how you feel Dave....having a new mando on the way is such a great thing.....for us players we are lucky to have such a vast array of builders to choose from.....Im anxiously awaiting my new one...
