View Full Version : Green snake mandolin
Here's the top. I am bored with F holes, so I did snake holes instead.
Here's the back. Hand rubbed burst under stinky nitro.
The headstock. Corian and reconstone inlay.

Does it bite? Is this what you refer to as your Hiss-5 mandolin prototype? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Lp

I'm still trying to decide if "limeburst" or "Margaritaburst" best discribes what the color brings to my mind.

For some reason Jolly Ranchers came to mind first http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
"Jolly Ranchers came to mind"
Now that strikes me as too true and very funny. I can tell you that over the course of making this instrument, at least one bottle of Tequila was seriously injured, and a pint of everclear dyed.

I think these mandolins are absolutely brilliant. How nice to see something imaginative - the inlay work looks really spectacular!

Those look more like worm holes or almost like #### holes http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Great mods away from the norm.
