    I had the top refinished and hand stained as well. The mandolin suffered an ugly setback when the case got opened too soon. Normally I don’t mind lacquer cracking but this was too much for me. But the mandolin looks great and sounds much much better now, I don’t know if there is a financial hit too? Probably soClick image for larger version.

    Did you do the refinish yourself?

    No! Lol
    I had Johannson mandolins do it, he does a great job with the staining too. It’s a spirit varnish finish
