That is amazing.

I like that satin finish, really nice job throughout.
The sunburst and that grain pattern on the back synergize very nicely.
There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

Robb, that mandolin is perfect! I love the satin finish! Each mandolin you build looks amazing!
Been away from my computer for a few days and just checking back in on the Cafe. Thanks for the nice comments all! Hey Skip, you're building some pretty sweet mandolins yourself!!
The back on that mandolin is outstanding.....superb work everywhere else too!!

Very nice looking mando!
That back is a real stunner. Superb wood and an equally superb finish job.
Nice work all round.

That looks killer, nicely done!
A quarter tone flat and a half a beat behind.
Wow, Robb, its a nice balance between the colour and the finish. +1 It would be really nice to find out how it sounds.
I agree that the matt finish sets it off well.
BTW well set up photographs
Wow, beautiful work! If I had an F-5 style mando I would want it to look exactly like that one.
