Varnish is very raw at this stage. After all the wet sanding and polishing it will look alot better....

By the way Hans, I really like that rim and mando shape you have there. You going to SPBGMA?

Ken, Nice mandolins! You are one busy man!

**Hans** · Dec-16-2007, 10:56am

Thanks Ken! Wish I was going to SPBGMA, but can't afford to take the time and I wouldn't want to drive it this time of year.
Here's the progress on the Stealth. Top is German and back will probably be sugar...

Hoo boy!

Want! Want! Want!

the upper point is similar to my two pointer. I like it.
The trouble with SPBGMA is FEB! Can't depend on the weather. How's your wife doing?

The essence of elegance. Beautiful, Hans.

**Dale Ludewig** · Dec-17-2007, 7:24am

Hans, I agree with Michael. Just plain beautiful lines.

**austin** · Dec-17-2007, 7:26am

I know I have already said it once, but I will say it again.
That is really, really cool Hans!

**Skip Kelley** · Dec-17-2007, 8:37am

Hans, Beautiful lines! The mandolin is a work of art!

**Hans** · Dec-17-2007, 9:06am

Hey, thanks guys, we'll have a little surprise for the finish...
Ken, Maureen is doing fine considering. She just did a benefit for Utah Phillips (he's had some heart problems which have stopped his touring) along with the likes of Peter Lang, Bill Hinkley and Judy Larson, Pop Wagner, Dakota Dave Hull and Phil Heywood.

I love how that subtle scooped fingerboard/pickguard line flows right into the (non) f hole. The whole thing looks like a fast sports car in motion. Very nice.

**Mandobar** · Dec-17-2007, 8:11pm

ya'll don't know what you are missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Jim Hilburn** · Dec-18-2007, 5:23pm

**JEStanek** · Dec-19-2007, 9:18am

I've had the pleasure of hearing Maureen sing & it was a treat.
