Mandolins in progress

[Skip Kelley]

Andrew, that is one sweet looking mandolin! Nice work as always!!

[Dan Voight]

Andrew, BEAUUUTIFUL. And, no injurys sustained, not even a sore neck. You'd think a fedex truck would do more harm...

[Chris Biorkman]

Good gravy, Andrew. That's some of the nicest stuff I've ever seen.

[Jim Roberts]

Andrew is so passionate about his work and it sure shows both visually and tonally.

Really special, Andrew.

[Jim Hilburn]

Here's some see-thru maple.
It's not particularly thin, 3.5 mm at the seam. It's just that knarly!
That's a 60 w behind it.

[Mandolusional]

Wow, that is pretty sweet!

[Skip Kelley]

Jim, That is a wild looking maple back! I've never seen one like that!

[Dan Voight]

Jim, I say wire up some LEDs in that thing.

[JEStanek]

Jim, That looks awesome. I took some liberties, I hope you don't mind...

Jamie --

You crack me up! Plus, I almost missed your St. Patrick's Day get-up.

[ShaneJ]

Wow, Jim! That is some wild-looking maple. It's gonna be gorgeous when you get through working your magic. You need to mount an internal LED lighting system. Can you imagine having that backlit maple glowing through a sunburst?

[amowry]

Cool photo, Jim. I always thought it was interesting how light travels along the grain better than across the grain. I guess those cells are like little fiber optics.

Ready for a fretboard! Always a satisfying day, no?

Andrew, even your photo is a work of art! The juxtaposition of the tools, the lighting, and of course the mando, is just so well done. Bravo!

My new background, thx Andrew, beautiful work!

[Mario Proulx]

Wow, Andrew! That's not a photo; that is art!

[Skip Kelley]

Andrew, That is very artsy! And it is a perfect dovetail by the way!! Very nice!

[amowry]

Any artistic content on my part is purely accidental, I assure you . Thanks, though!

[joshua collum]

Wow Andrew, Beautiful work...Is that router used for cutting the dovetail? Also, are you gonna be at the handmade musical exhibit at Marylhurst University again next month?

[joshua collum]

Here is the slow project I started in Feb. It will be an 8 string electric. And also a piece of wood for a future project.

[amowry]

Looks good, Joshua! You and I are lucky to be in the land of bigleaf!

[joshua collum]

Thanks Andrew, We are lucky to live in the land of big leaf. I got this piece of big leaf from Bruce Harvie that's pretty sweet. The mandolin that I'm working on is my first. I'm not brave enough to jump into acoustic building yet. I love your stuff and have admired your work for a long time.

[labraid]

Classical number 4 is destined for California.

[crazymandolinist]

You've gotta get a commission closer to Florida!

[labraid]

You've gotta come to Canada. J'ai besoin d'apprentis.

[amowry]

Some amazing work Brian, as usual.
