Barry,
Nice looking instruments. It would be nice to see bigger pictures. Yours are well below the limit of the cafe in both file size and pixels.

[Darren Kern]

They look real nice, I love the finish!

[Ken Sager]

Very cool F holes! I like!

Barry, what does the bone saddle do for that mandolin? Do you like it as much as ebony?

Very handsome work.
Best,
Ken

thanks for the nice comments... the saddle is ivory, i just wanted a different look on this mandolin. It didnt have an effect on the mando one way or the other...first strung it up with an ebony saddle, then I made this one, I kinda like the way it looks?...

Very nice. I like the f holes, I've never seen any like that before.

Wow!
I never thought that I would ever see a mandolin more beautiful than the Gibson Bibey model.

Sweet; unique rounding of the peghead point....
