    Default New Mowry F5

    I won't take up space with lots of photos of the latest batch, but there are more on my web site, inlcuding a new mandola model. Here are a few F5 tasters. Thanks for looking!

    Five Chickens indeed. Great looking work, Andrew. I love your colors and headstock inlay.

    Would be afraid to touch, looks like you would get your finger wet. Beautiful work there.
    Nice headstock work as well.

    As Mary Poppins once exclaimed, "QUITE SATISFACTORY!"

    Excellent work Andrew! Keep it up - I think you're onto something there!

    First we had to warn Jim Hillburn and now I feel like we simply must warn Andrew....please cease and desist from any more photos as you are creating a severe case of MAS in at least one Mandolin Cafe member who has been in remission for several years now!

    you can get lost in the depths of that Mowry one piece back. I'd like to smell it. Is that bird's eye siding?---Lou
