Cool!
Steve, I can't wait for more pictures! Nice work, brother!
I look forward to seeing more pictures. Keep the updates coming, Steve :)
I really like how that "corner protector" is joined with a right angle "vee" instead of a flat. Smart.
I'm fascinated by the looks of these beautiful instruments that you make Steve, they are truly a work of art. I hope to one day play one and who knows, maybe be an owner. Looking forward to some more photos are you progress!

Wow… That is going to be a pretty mandolin.
I love the way you do the binding.
You details are so unique and cool.
Cant wait to see in up and running. :)
Well Doctor Sorenstien just a few more parts and pieces before it's time to raise the lightening rods. Attachment 148385
Joking aside that's a beautful design and luthiery Steve. Your back plate dropping under the rims guards the tone without one.
Oh, Henry . . . it's alive! It's Alive ! ! !
