Top notch as always. And it's amazing how many you are building! Keep it up, I always enjoy seeing your new mandolins as I am sure so does everyone else.

Congrats on your new mandolin, Dylan! It looks great. These pics are definitely going to keep me drooling until I can get my hands on that gorgeous econo sitting next to yours. Thanks for posting these, Ken!

Thanks Andrew. That econo looks mighty fine too. It's fun seeing them together and knowing there's someone just as anxious to get home to a sweet sounding work of art! Looks like it's time to post the Eastman up on the classifieds!!! :)

That f is # 300. It don't seem like I work much, I just pass through the shop a few times and a mandolin appears there.

Beautiful!
I know that "one of these days" doesn't pay the bills, Ken, but I'll say it anyway.
One of these days...

Wow Ken. Thanks so much for the extra pictures. I agree, the distress job looks great. Just enough. It's like you knew just what I wanted. :) I love the pictures you take. They are a work of art themselves. Thanks again!

Lovely mandolins. The distressing on these isn't so much "distressed" in the holes-in-your-jeans fashion, but nice and subdued... like the "distressing" on turn-of-the-century fiddles (when new).
These ones are really nice. Keep em coming!

She'll be in my arms tomorrow morning!! Picking her up on my way into work at the post office. I think I know what my lunch break will consist of!! When are you getting yours Andrew?

As many of you know, in addition to being a top-shelf luthier, Ken is also an artist - in more ways than one! Those mandolin photos and the 'shadowed' effect are just another example of the artistry Ken shares with us every week or two!
JMHO, YMMV!

Dylan,
I just sent Ken my check this morning and am having the mandolin shipped to me, so I am guessing some time next week she will be living in Nashville with me. I am very excited! How is yours sounding?
