There's a thread about it over in the CBOM section, with reports from two people who now have one (last few pages in the thread):

And the street tacos? Head East on Katella past 9th and turn left into the Food for Less lot. Taco Alto is to the left-awesome-try the Caldo de res soup-you'll love it!

This showed up on Elderly's site since NAMM: pre-ordering for the new Eastman octave. They're listing at $699 which is a lot lower than I thought I remembered hearing.

Fabulous post. Glad to see clergy maintaining a sense of humor and humanity. We could use a bit more of both in this world.

It's apparently a mandola: http://jerseygirlhg.com/composition/branches/resandy/

Well, I was interested for a second or two...
Almost 20" scale length is an odd choice for mandola, more like an octave. That rosette is gorgeous.

I ordered an Eastman 805/V which also has the antique varnish (distressed) finish. I am receiving it Friday. These guys seem to put a lot of skill into their productions. I would very much like to read more about the Eastman process and watch videos that show their shop if they exist. I have seen guitars being hand-made by Eastman on video and it appears they have a very refined process. This is what I could afford and I am hoping it has the tone and quality I am wanting.
I found this video. The mandolin portion shows the Eastman artisans handcrafting instruments.
