Just turned two

[Breakfast]

I don't know if Gary ever posted any pictures of this individual mando, but it sure is a beauty. #I believe it is one of the last ones built in Salt Lake. #I have been playing it pretty hard for two years and I couldn't be happier.

On the first picture you can see where my sweaty arm has rubbed into the varnish a bit. #It's beautiful.

Gary picked a great piece of wood for the back:

It has been two great years. #Many more to follow I'm sure.

Happy 2nd Birthday to your mandolin.

If I laid mine in the grass like that, I'd probably wind up with ants inside the body! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Unfortunately, I have more ants in my house than in the yard. I think they're there for the free food and not the music.
