Just delivered this custommade mandolin to the new owner. Since eight years I totaly stoped using tropical woods and nowadays I build with all Swiss woods. This special mandolin though have top and back made of old stock wood from the closed down Swedish Levin factory that closed down 1978. This woods are stored from about 1940 so it is quiet enough dry....I finished it of with steamed swiss plumwood for the fret board and bridge. Neck and sides swiss maple. Adjustable neck angle, all glued up with hot hide glue and hand brushed on spirit varnish.
