Re: Refinish mandolin?
More detail -- what brand and model mandolin? How much actual damage? What's your level of woodworking expertise?
Not a trivial job, and drastically reduces the market value, whatever that is. If it's a low-to-medium-price instrument, and you have no intention of ever selling or trading it in, you could "customize" it to your heart's content.
I'd only caution that you would need a fair level of effort and care to produce an appearance better than a slightly dinged factory finish, IMHO.
