I think I've caught the Bigsby bug, I've been wanting to build bunches of Tiny Moore style mandolins for a long time, I've tooled up, here's the first 2 bodies I built yesterday, going to saw out some necks tomorrow. Stay tuned for more photos.

Very cool! Have you decided yet what kind of electronics you will be installing?
T.K. Smith does beautiful work! I'm a fan. Is that one yours?? I'm going to be offering mine in 3 models, The Standard (most affordable) this is like the 2 I'm building now, solid bound basswood body, set flame maple neck. The Custom, birds-eye and flame maple bound, chambered body, set flame maple neck. The Deluxe, neck thru chambered birds-eye and flame maple bound body. All 3 come hand made Bigsby style pickups and hardware and custom hand made cases.

Well I managed to get out into the shop, routed the binding slots bound the front and back and sanded both bodies. Picked out a nice piece of 5A flame maple big enough to make 2 necks and a couple pieces ebony for the fingerboars. More photos to come.

Looking forward to the final product.
Well friends, I findly got back out into the shop this weekend, finished up the necks for my Bigsby Tiny Moore style mandolins. Did the mother of pearl inlays, fretting, binding and shaped the backs of the necks. More photos coming soon.
