This SG might be a good place to share info about builders on this side of the line. I found this old thread with some good names and details: http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/sh...light=Canadian But there must be lots that aren't mentioned. Starting with David Sohn here in the Vancouver area. Anyone here have a name they'd like to call to our attention? Just in case. Thanks.
