    Default New Mando - sort of

    After 30 years the old buckle and belt gave it up. I could not find what I wanted for a buckle, so I made one. Pewter buckle with i/b/i bound Ebony insert. the mandolin is gold & black MOP with Abalone. Quite a bit of work for such a simple thing.

    If an instrument is gonna get belt buckle rash, that's the one to do it!

    Doug, You are a man of many talents. You need to go ahead and build a mandolin. I can't wait to play it, if you do.

    Hey Ron,

    I have a couple on the back burner right now. A Cedar two point and Red Spruce F style with one piece big Leaf Maple backs. They are still packed up from the move to Kerrville.

    I'm set up and working out of the garage right now until I can get my shop built out back. Check out my backyard pets on the Contact page of the website.
