It used to be, about half a lifetime ago, that “The” mandolin or fiddle to have was one in solid “birdseye” Maple. I haven’t heard a peep nor seen a photo of a mandolin or fiddle made with birdseye Outside of a few cheap Chinese laminates on a certain on line site. Was this just a fad twenty five years ago or has the supply, which has always been scarce, finally been used up? Or is it something else?
