    Mike Blohm made these for me a few years ago. I still enjoy looking at the headstock when I pick up the Stiver. Lovely buttons.

    Do youse all know if the Ebony are available to purchase or do they just come with a mando that's custom ordered? I have a Blohm set on my one mandolin but sure would like an Ebony inlaid set! Just spectacular-mighty fine work!

    Yes, you can purchase the ebony buttons with or without the mandolin. The buttons will fit F style Waverly tuners.

    Land Snakes! That’s some Mighty Bodacious Buttoning Mr. Ellis.

    Here’s a shot I like of my 06 Goldrush with a set of Mikes inlayed buttons. Mikes button have simulated wire vines by hand engraving. I don’t understand why some one couldn’t make these with a 3D Printer in a method more like the original cast construct by printing the button material to encase the precut shell and wire form. If a continuous wire connected all the vines together internally the shell pieces could be glued to the wire to locate them in the button as the 3D Printer fabricated the button over the shell and wire.

    Photo orientation here doesn’t let Apples photo editing override its original orientation. Anyone know how to fix this?
