    What do you think? The Garnet shellac I used in my French polishing gave the green a nice tone in my opinion. The flash of the camera makes it appera little brighter than it actually is. I still can't decide on a dang truss rod cover...

    That's elegant. Like the narrow f-holes, and the headstock is first rate.

    Wow, it normally takes a builder years and years to get around to doing something that weird, you are coming along very quickly.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. The mandolin is beatiful, nice job.

    Nice mix of green and tortoise binding. The scroll looks very nice too!

    How about some sort of flower pot truss rod cover? It would finally give that rose someplace to put down some roots. Maybe it could even start a whole Mando family!
