Hey, Mike, right back at you.

Jim, I like everything about it--amazing work. I think your fern inlay is the best fern I've ever seen. Congrats.

Jim, everything about that #58 is gorgeous! I hope you'll get the chance to put up a sound sample on your site. I enjoy those.

Thanks for all the kind words.
Cheryl, while it just went off out the door to it's new home with no recording, it will be nearby so I'll set up a recording session sometime soon. I'd like to get a record of it too.

Jim, your handiwork is as good as any I've seen on the cafe, bar none.

I guess it's obvious why I seldom see a Hillburn mandolin for sale.... ;)

This is a REALLY nice looking mandolin! Colour, appointments, inlay, everything.. what a beauty.
Great photos, too.

Thanks Ken.
I spared no expense on the photographic equipment. It's a $215 Canon Powershot.
