    I ran that image through an OCR programme with no success.
    Saltgrass hasn't posted here since 2005 at which point he had built 5 mandolins.

    Yes! I bought 2 of Bill Laird's "Saltgrass" mandolins. I met him in the luthier's pavilion at California Bluegrass Association Father's Day festival. He makes a good mandolin!

    Curious, though, the signature doesn't look like "Laird".

    The signature appears to be Howard W. Laird from here. Just guessing, but the W. is probably William thus the name Bill.
