That looks, and sounds, really nice, Gary. Like you, I love the graduated dark-to-light on the sides... I hope it goes to a good home  |

Yes, I've listened to this video a few times now, and been watching the build closely. I've not really GAS'ed for a mandolin, but playing Keith's wonderful walnut Fylde today got me thinking. This is sorely tempting! Umm.......
