To change the subject, that birdseye Dallas is appealing, mostly because I have a soft spot for that maple mutation, which, in (non-veneer, solid) form is uncommon. I think the massive rift in the back could indicate solid construction, but sometimes a laminate will let go like that too. An excellent restoration project.
Well...count me in for kale (a mainstay in my juicer) exercise and birdseye maple.
I may be wrong but I haven't seen a JE Dallas mandolin for sale in the States before.
I have long appreciate his design approach...mixing some Italian features with a clean line geometry.
I'm tempted by this one and have the Reverb site saved in my browser.
But at $3C it's still too pricey for me as a reclamation project.
10 years ago I wouldn't have hesitated, but I still have repair projects from 8 years ago...and 6 years ago.
I'm going to let it ride a bit and toss in a ringer 'offer'. Who knows? I would be surprised if it sold for that price.
