Thanks, Darby.
If they are built by “the” Vern Bryant, you’d be wise to buy them all. Everyone I’ve ever seen and heard was a killer Loar sounding mandolin.
That is so cool brother!
Happy Birthday Wake Frankfield
This carved much easier than the quilted maple I recently finished. A beautiful piece of koa.

My personal mandolin which is number 50, has an engleman top. It’s one piece, wide, irregular grain, but the ring it had when tapped, is why I used it. I love the woody sound this mandolin has.
Darby, thanks. I love the tone you can get from redwood.

Per your request Charley
I appreciate all the kind words.
Here's a newly finished custom Kelley A model. 1850's redwood top. I love the deep tone of this wood. It was a little teaser video for the customer...Nfn9SUxiCeA
Nice tune. Thanks for sharing.
Niles teaching materials are some of the best.
Can you post some pictures?
Moving is hard work; as me how I know;)
Craig, glad to have you on this side of the country.
RIP Dale. It always leaves a void in our heart when we lose those close to us. Prayers for his family.
Thanks Steve. Yes he is a good musician. He has a great voice too.
Thanks fellas; I appreciate it!
Thanks Steve! I really appreciate that brother!

My opinion is no drilling holes on the neck. I don’t recommend it even on a new mandolin.
Steve, that one is one cool looking mandolin design. Nice work brother!
John, that is some seriously good inlay work.
Here’s a little video of a newly finished mandolin. It’s a real strong mandolin. Let me know what you think.

Frank, thanks for sharing those tunes with us. Nice picking.
Steve, that’s funny and disappointing. I wanted to see an electric mandolin ��
How sad. RIP Roland.
