Here's an A I just strung up. Wish you could hear it more than just see it.
My wife just chastised me for not coming up with a better backdrop than the chair. I told her no one here looks at what's behind the mandolin.

"...while a great mandolin is a wonderful treat, I would venture to say that there is always more each of us can do with the tools we have available at hand. The biggest limiting factors belong to us not the instruments." Paul Glasse

What chair? Nice mandolin! Awesome work as always!!
And here's the peghead.
Come on out to Denver this weekend for the Mid-Winter Bluegrass Fest and you'll be able to hear a few of my mandolins.
Jason, that is clear gloss lacquer.
That thing just screams with perfection, awesome Jim!

Outstanding work, as usual, Jim.
Funny, I noticed that chair in the last set and thought the same thing as your wife

OK, next time, I'll get Photoshop and make it look like it's flying through space.
Elegant work Jim! I'd love to play one of your mandos someday!
Very nice Jim.

John, I built my first F-5 in "79, and sold the first one to someone else in 2000. In between, I built a variety of instruments as a hobby.

I knew someone would do it!
That mandolin is going where no man has gone before!
Stunning, Jim. I'm in shock and awe.
