View Full Version : Two contrasting Silverangels
Here's pics of two F's I strung up today. Thought it might be interesting to see the contrasting looks and colors of the two.
here's a closeup of the carving...
another view of the backs.
People can say all they want about flame, scrolls, fancy tailpieces, and whatnot; but your carvings are uniquely beautiful. Bravo, Ken!

LOVE that relief carving on the back of the darker one Ken! Great work - as always! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif Is that reddish-orange one what you call 'pumpkin-colored?'

Ken - are both headstocks identical? (The front)
No Mark, One has a fern and the other says "Silverangel Classic". Thanks, here's a shot of the top of the dark one.

Nice work!
Someday I must get one with the relief carving.

Doug - does that indicate an additional MAS affliction? #Like you'll need one with a varnish finish, one with an angel painting on the back, and also one with the relief carving? #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif #You could get all three on one, but I'd go for one of each. #Ken would appreciate that too!

I was thinking one of those could be a two point like your cousin has. I may have to get a second job, after I find a first one. I quit my manager's job (of 22 years) six months after the Evil Empire bought the company.

Doug - hey, an even better idea! I might have to consider a two-pointer one day as well! That one of my cousin's IS a beauty - and it really barks too!

Well, as the owner (and going crazy waiting for it to arive BTW) of the "pumpken colored mando I have to say that adding the carving would have been a nice added touch and kind of wish I had but to say that I have even the slightest disapointment would be a big lie.
Ken has met every little whim and request of mine and has done it with class and style. This has been a wonderful process and if Carolina sounds anything like she looks look out. Ken told me she sound better, louder and woodier than his personal mando. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

It looks like you have scored big here Dano.
Love that back and headstock inlay.
Don't be afraid to play her!!!

Dano - my apologies. #I recalled - after I saw that mandolin - that it's the custom 'Tequila Sunrise' color Ken whipped up for you! #Regardless, VERY COOL! #And certainly not a color you'll encounter often - if at all - in the jams you attend! #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
