Here’s some pictures of my latest F5. It’s made with a 100 year old red spruce top, highly figured north-eastern maple. Very even balance across the strings and even up the neck. Thanks for looking!

Wow, Skip! Love the warm subtle 'burst!

Here’s a link to a little video I did of the mandolin. Forgive the quality; I used my phone.

Thanks Steve! It is a very subtle burst for sure!;)
Dang, brother, just...Dang! Rings like a bell and has a real even tone, lovely. What is the name of that tune you pick?
Gorgeous to look at and listen to. What is that tune?
That's a powerfully-good sounding mandolin, Mr. Kelley!
Durang's Hornpipe or Soppin' the Gravy?
Very nice work...….
Totally beautiful, as always Skip...
Nice work. That thing sounds great!
Guys, thanks for the kind words! The tune is Durang’s Hornpipe. If I had played it better, you would have been able to recognize it! :grin:
Wow, Skip, that's one fine mandolin!
Nice job Skip! That back and neck are amazing and I'm sure that top just sings. Very cool
Ditto to thisQuote:

All around awesomeness!
Fantastic looking and sounding mandolin Skip. My MAS is starting to flare up!
Skip, what number are you up to now?
Ol' #54 is getting better all the time
I'm curious what is the terrifying process for the wood that you used? Is it a secret? https://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/141617#141617
It’s a play on the word torrified! Just a little humor! But, it is terrifying to banjos!��Quote:

Ah, ok. That was a slightly more boring answer than I hoped for :)):( although it's what I guessed :cow:
It's when your wife finds out you bought it, but weren't supposed to....
I have been accused many times of being honest as well as boring!:grin:Quote:
