    Don't wear out your buffer on the O18T, David. Feel free to let that spot blend in with the other 58 years of honest wear.
    Hope y'all didn't get washed away last night with that toad strangler of a rain.
    Like i was sayin', that toner looks good with all that fancy inlay.

    The latest batch of three being worked on in the Muleskinner Instruments shop. Some classic combinations and some awe-inspiring figuring on that back, neck and sides.

    Heading to a festival in Southern Vermont this week (Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots) and sadly these 3 will be hanging around the shop while I am there, but I will have a handful of Muleskinners in tow and a vendor tent in the festival grounds. If anyone is around, come on by and say hello and pick a Mule!

    Andy,
    Is that a scyamore back and sides? If so, I'd like your impressions of sycamore as a tonewood?

    Sycamore, yes.

    I am happy to offer impressions when it's done. This is the first instrument I've built of American Sycamore.

    1) StewMac dreadnought kit w/mahogany back and sides
    2) A5 mandolin from scratch — pictured is my first hand-prepared plate joint, using hand planes and rubbed hide glue, and no clamps (despite my trepidation, I think it’s going to be just fine).
    —Prepping the planes, which were my late grandfather’s, took more time than the joinery. Soles flattened, irons lapped and sharpened, mouth opening set... this is a craft in and of itself.
