What is that PWK?

**pwkellar** · Apr-15-2009, 2:54pm

Stelling S-5. Not mine, but killer nonetheless.

Yep! Quilted is my favourite of all the types of maple. Some of it looks almost three-dimensional.

Hey David,

Can you show and say a bit more about that mandolin design? Looks a bit like the old Harmony/Supertone 'soft shouldered' two point design.

**David Houchens** · Apr-16-2009, 3:53pm

Brad, A lot of the early Stellings were this shape. I think all of those were built by Kim Breedlove if I'm not mistaken. I think once Kim started making the S5's this model was dropped. May have been some overlap. Its my first with this design other than retopping a Stelling once.
Also my first orange mandolin.
I'll get in touch with the owner (if he doesn't see this) and see if he wants to add some pictures.
Most of the other pictures I have didn't come out well.

**mandomania7923** · Apr-16-2009, 4:23pm

how about this one?

**Rolfe** · Apr-16-2009, 4:23pm

Here's my favorite which follows the quilting theme into the inlays. "Quilting" is currently in residence at Mandolin Brothers.

There are some really nice mandos on this thread!

**Chris Biorkman** · Apr-16-2009, 4:33pm

I don't think quilt gets any better than these two Ellis mandolins.
