Hagerty #2 has color.

[Jacob Hagerty]

Just put the color on my second mandolin build, it has the first 2 coats of lacquer. Still some work to do but it's well on its way. I had it strung up in the white and it sounded great, curious to see how she sounds after she's buffed and cured.

This is a stew Mac kit
Hand rubbed sunburst on front, back, and sides
Hand cut mother of pearl, abalone inlayed with silver wire
Torch and wire design.
Black binding with white pin stripe
Stew Mac bridge
Hand cut nut
This will have silver hardware with ebony tuning pegs.

Enjoy.

I know I have enjoyed putting this thing together

#3 (from scratch) is already under way and #4 is still in a pile of wood.

I love the rich, warm color scheme! That's a sharp looking mandolin, and very impressive for a second build.

[Jacob Hagerty]

Thanks. Putting the final coat on today or tomorrow.

Thank you! #3 will be from scratch. First 2 were a way to get my foot in the door.

Beautiful mandolin sir! I have always loved a dark sunburst like that with dark binding. Keep up the good work!
