Leaving home in the next week or so, stayed cool shooting in a couple of inches of flowing water in this stinkin desert:

Man, Bill. You're like a mandolin spring. They just keep bubling up and looks so clean and refreshing.

Bill, my first question is: How did you find water in the desert? Can you sell the water in the desert and get rich?

Seriously, those are some sweet looking instruments! I love your A models!

Hey Bill,
Are you coming up to Weiser?
We're thinking about using some single malt, maybe staining a few instruments, but definitely staining the dental work.....

Skip- when Lt. Emory came thru with Fremont's expedition in the fall of 1848 he noted in his journal that this was just the second clear running stream he had encountered since leaving the Allegheny mountains the previous spring. Its a calcium carbonate stream in a sodium bicarbonate desert, the last native cutthroat trout stream before the Sierra Madre of old mexico, navigable with a tube and cheap mando!

NICE!

I especially appreciate the black-topped (OM?) archtop. Not enough of that going around these days.

Great work!

I'm with Mr. Jake. Love the black archtop. But, they're all really nice.

With the recent temperature rise tubing works for me. Your the only guy around that can make a stinkin desert look like a playground. Then you have the audacity to put points and a scroll on your paddle model! Now you got me thinking of some drain holes around the bottom with a nice octave neck for canoeing.

I really like the darker of the oval holes!

That Bruichladdich is a beautiful aim to shoot for - can you do Dalmore as well? :grin:
Love those GOMs, too!

Really beautiful mandolins. That tubing shot is also really cool. I've always been too chicken to try mando-tubing, even with a beater or carbon fiber.

Another pair before the creek goes dry, built the cedar/mesquite tradOM last year for the house, the engelmann/curly maple is about to head across a larger body of water...
Bertram- happy to match the Dalmore, but you have to send me a full bottle first!

Bill, I love the OM's! I have always admired your work!
