Elkhorn F-5 #33
Here's the latest Elkhorn F-5. It's #33 and already with it's happy new owner in Canada. Big leaf Maple/Adirondack. The mandolin sounds really good. Thought I had an mp3 for this one but guess I forgot to record it before I shipped it off; oops!! Enjoy!!

I like that satin finish, really nice job throughout.
Re: Elkhorn F-5 #33
The sunburst and that grain pattern on the back synergize very nicely.

Robb, that mandolin is perfect! I love the satin finish! Each mandolin you build looks amazing!

Very nice looking mando!
Re: Elkhorn F-5 #33
That back is a real stunner. Superb wood and an equally superb finish job.
Nice work all round.

That looks killer, nicely done!

Re: Elkhorn F-5 #33
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
Re: Elkhorn F-5 #33
Wow, beautiful work! If I had an F-5 style mando I would want it to look exactly like that one.
