Front binding installed.
Inlay routing.
Ben took this pic in black and white, his flash was acting up and made everything orange so he took this shot, kind of a cool effect.
Say, I saw your mando-in-progress just under three weeks ago. Enjoy. I'm sure it will be yummy.
Thanks Eugene, I'm really chomping at the bit right now, especially seeing pictures of #53.
well, any news?

Well there was a little delay, Ben will finish the buffing on Monday so hopefully just a few more days now. He sent me a couple quick shots to show the color this morning but I have not had a chance to post them yet, hopefully will be able to do that tomorrow.
Here is a small sample Ben sent showing the color and quilt.
...looks mighty fine Dave....
Beautiful! He makes some mighty fine mando's both in beauty and playability..
How absolutely astounding that quilting is; where do I sign up? I am fascinated by "quilted" maple!
..kinda puts me in the mind of this one...Quilt is a very beautiful thang..
I am anxious to see the whole thing. The thing I like about quilt is it looks 3 dimensional.
..I know how you feel Dave....having a new mando on the way is such a great thing.....for us players we are lucky to have such a vast array of builders to choose from.....Im anxiously awaiting my new one...
Scotti, are you going to stay with fir on your next one?
..nope..Im going Spruce on this one.....dont ask me why ....just something Im doing..... ..I aboslutely love the sound of the Fir top..but..Im going more traditional on this one in looks and wood..
