Hey folks,
Robb of Elkhorn Mandolins sent me some pictures of his most recent creations and asked if I could post them here as he has limited computer time right now. So I obliged, ya'll enjoy.

First up is #20 which boasts a Red Spruce top and a one piece Sugar Maple back.

Next is what I assume is #21, but in any case it has a really cool one piece Koa back, I think the top is Sitka but I'm not sure on that one. This one is nearing completion.

and I assume it's not blasphemous to post these here...if so many apologies.

The guitar is Red Spruce over Malaysian blackwood and the Koa actually has a cedar top, not sitka as I had previously thought.
