Finally figured out how to shrink pics to post on here thanks to some of your replies,,,thanks,, My first mandolin,,,carved with spoon carver from woodcraft and simple chisels and files,,,,not too bad for just tools laying around the shop......i am slowly investing in real luthier tools lol...
May not be the fanciest but it sounds good,,,check it out on youtube.com search under reb0964
Thanks Russell
one thread is fine
Seriously, what's with the commas?
I'm going to guess they were supposed to be periods....

Y'all are some rough cats!
I think the mando looks pretty good, expecially with it being your first and the limited amount of tools you have. I think it looks really good.
who really cares about comma's or a few extra threads....he's asking about the mandolin. Don't let let a few typo's trip ya up,,,its not that cryptic and reeks of something unpleasant.
As for the mandolin it looks nice. I really like the dark sunburst, it has a sort of rough, used, played in appearance.
Look up (to see whats comin down)
It looks real good for #1 and one thread is fine for Voights too.

Nice looking and does sound decent too thanks for sharing. It kinda looks like a friend of mines mando ... same sort of color look to it. His has a cedar top

That is a fine looking instrument. What brand and color stain did you use?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, I was only asking because I was curious. Seems like just one comma or period would be easier to type (and to read) and serve the purpose just as well.Originally Posted by
I've complimented reb's mandos before (though it's hard to tell since they're spread over a dozen threads) and think he does some great work.
Looks good, man!

I used water stain powders from woodcraft...i think they're were called transmations?? # I used red mahogany and black,
#I made the red mahagony kinda thick and brushed it on then went around the outer edges and sides with black using qtips,,,then steel wooled it back after it dried well..I build cabinets for a living and had some precatalized satin laquer i had left from a job, # It dries super fast and easy to work with. #Russell
