    That's an awesome looking beast there Nate - right up there with Weber's best in my opinion.

    Block inlays are one of the things that make it a custom...

    Yowza! Now, that is a beauty! I agree with Tony, the color is just perfect.

    Ummmm... You might wanna keep a fire extinguisher handy. With all that flame on the back ya' never know what might happen!

    Make sure to bring that one if we ever have our Va. Mando-Tasting get-together.

    Congrats, and most of all, Enjoy!

    Thanks everyone for the great comments. The blocks are custom. the other custom features on this yellowstone is the flower pot and Weber script inlay.the color is a custom color faded leather burst and also a custom version of that color.

    Congratulations! I love it when a mandolin is loved by its new owner/temporary custodian. I'm anticipating a similar experience..probably delayed until next month now.
    Happy Pickin', lad!
