Stupid brain moment tonight
I was working on the blond yesterday. I have altered lots already. The bridge was mated fine but I wanted to lower the action some so I stripped it down and sanded the bottom some more... while I had it apart I decided I didn't like the V shape of the back of the neck... out came the files and sandpaper.. I rounded the back comfortable to me.
I masked off to just spray the back of the neck and figured I'd just wetsand it back. eventually I wanted to refinish again... well the stuff I had here just didn't want to cure (varathane pro satin finish).... so I stripped it off. I had a little laquer and did the neck with that. it turned out good. I took it in the house to finish drying and set it on a kitchen chair... I just turned to grab a coffee and I heard the mandolin fall...
broke the scroll off the headstock. so out came the tools and wood glue... it plays great now but I will always see that crack and shake my head
