John, i switched to leather on the contact points several years ago. The cork became unreliable to some finishes.
We haven't retired completely. Still plugging away in the shop, but at a reduced level.

Great matches by Doug on both of these, John!
Thank you all for the well wishes and support. In addition to the bursitis I came down with COVID last week. Some improvement but my oxygen saturation is still low. Hoping to see that clear up soon.
Have a blessed holiday!
Doug Edwards: Stay well! Your arm rests rock all of my mandolins!
Get well Doug!
I want to echo the well wishes and prayers that are sent your way, Doug! Loving my Ebony with gold on my Pava Pro! Works great for comfort and tone. Most importantly, we want you well and with many happy years ahead. Take care, Dan
Prayers for your recovery !
Doug, praying you get well soon.
Doug I’m truly sorry to hear you have contracted Covid. It’s be 7 weeks and I still have symptoms after being hospitalized for 6 days, mostly cough and shortness of breath. However I’m getting better with each passing day. Rest and stay on top of your symptoms. Especially important for young men like us. I contracted mine despite the best PPE at work from an unknown pt. Covid is the real deal. Lp
I had it too, we are tested twice weekly at work. Totally asymptomatic, they called to tell me I had tested positive, I told them they were kidding me, I felt fine the whole time I had to be off work. Such a variable disease, can be no symptoms to very deadly. I just hope everyone that gets it has the same lack of symptoms I had.
Bless you all who have had it. I hope for the best for each of you. Doug, I am sorry to hear about your neurologist. Dan
Wishing you all the best for a speedy and complete recovery, Doug!
Because everyone was saying good things about this, I ordered one from Doug. Very nice and helpful guy! and I love my armrest. Highly recommend him.
Doug Sending you thoughts and prayers for a very speedy recovery. You're stronger than Covid.!
Thanks again. We’re doing good and getting better all the time. Working back in the shop this past week. Knocked this one out the past few days.

Thanks for your good work, Doug. I have three, two on mandolins and one on a mandola using a viola clamp. They all look good, work great and prevent my arm from developing a permanent crease.
I am looking forward to my new curly maple McClung that Doug is sending me soon! It is going on my Weber Diamondback. Thanks Hill Country Stringworks!
Hill Country makes great pickguards too. Well made and a good price too. Worth looking into if you need one.
Our website is still down but under construction. At least the home page shows something now. Now that I’m back in the shop we’ll see more progress to that end as well as new products underway.
David McClung just finished this one up for a customer.

The website is slowly getting there. I have a local web developer working us in. I'm just not up to the challenge. We have lots of of product to upload when we get there. Thanks
