Hello folks,
The last year has been interesting, full of a lot of changes for us. I'm building mostly as therapy these days, but am really grateful I get to work with awesome woods and make cool stuff like this, even if it does take a while.
I probably won't be building any more Nautilus mandolins for some time, if ever, unless there's a specific demand for them. When you move to a new shop, you usually get rid of a lot of jigs and fixtures, which have done OK for while they've been there.
But I've learned so much since I geared up to start making these, it's time to rethink a bunch of things. I'll be doing that while I make some bigger mandolin-like instruments for some very patient Cafe members.
This is a cool instrument, though.
Sitka spruce top, parallel tone bars, offset oval holes
Super awesome ziricote sides, fretboard, neck, bridge, headstock overlay
Incredible birdseye maple back
Thanks for looking!
