Kuhlman-Wolf Celtic Knot

[Walt Kuhlman]

In route to N Ireland, our teardrop mandolin w/Celtic knot work by Astrid. Sitka over Walnut, Ebony fingerboard, headstock overlay, and adjustable bridge. Wide neck
1 5/16" at the nut.

Untouchable and cool perfection, with a distinct Elvish angle. A wide fretboard is always a good idea.

One thing, though - if I may speak my mind - the minimalistic tailpiece would make a more balanced counterpoint with bridge and fretboard if it had a small ebony cover to take away the metallic nakedness. But that's just my perception.

By customers request. However we do this as well...

Exactly what I had in mind. :cool:

Lovely work! (but would tend avoid a small pick as might difficult to retrieve from within!)

[Bob Clark]

As always, Walt, beautiful work. Congratulations to you and Astrid.

[David Houchens]

Very nice. Really like the carving.

Very nice.

FYI, here's a similar (although laser-cut) design on a Triplett harp -

I have this same model Triplett (Irish 30-wire) but mine has just a simple "cross" design...I so love the appearance of this one pictured
