    i recently sent them an email query about building an oval hole two-point. That was probably a waste of time.

    I ordered a A4 Deluxe (oval hole, silver hardware, ivoroid binding) #537 last September. It may be a while before I get it given the delays due to the pandemic, ice storm, Christian's leaving, and Tom's unfortunate broken arm (Ouch!). Hope you heal up good soon Tom.

    A few years ago I met Bruce Weber in Bend to have him work on my Absaroaka. He took the mando back to Montana and slipped exiting the airplane ramp (it was February) and broke his wrist. Things happen.

    Hope Tom recovers well, he's a very nice fellow and his team is fantastic.

    For all of us waiting for our Ellis mandolin, the wait will be well worth it. We will be amply rewarded with a beautiful mandolin built by one of the best teams in the business. Tom, take your time healing that right arm, we can wait a little longer.

    Wow, I'm surprised at #500. I'd see that as a very special milestone (I mean, I'm sure Tom did), but I'm surprised it was sold.

    Wow, both beautiful mandolins. I could never afford the ELLIS F5 RESERVE HUMMINGBIRD CUSTOM #500 but it is amazing.
