    Default Source for pre-carved plates

    I got asked to make a mandolin. No big deal, but my power equipment all got sold. Was thinking of getting rough-carved plates with enough meat to get the arching to my liking. Wondering what the best sources are at the moment. A style. Maybe a rough neck, too (I know, I already have a rough neck, problem with aging).

    Thanks!
