    Default New Birdseye oval hole

    It has taken a while, but finally I have got around to posting these pictures. This is a recently completed one of my oval hole mandolins. Woods are Red Spruce top, Birdseye Maple back and sides, Tasmanian Myrtle pickguard, Indian Rosewood bindings, Macassar Ebony fingerboard. Apologies for taking so long to those who requested the pictures.

    Sound clips are here -

    Beautiful Peter! I miss our rehearsals where you bring one or two of your latest creations. My Coombe flat top is my favourite thing ever!
