Re: Sortowanie Vinaccias
Jarek, that looks to be in sad condition, but not impossible. The top appears to be in good condition.
Poco a poco you could probably get the bowl staves realigned and glued before reattaching the top.
The key will be the condition / position / geometry of the neck once the mandolin returns to whole.
Good luck with the project.
If you are doing the work yourself, why not post a thread with photos of your progress in the "builders and repairs" section here?
While there isn't a lot of folks working with bowlbacks here, it would be a good place for you to catch the eye of folks who might offer advice and encouragement.
Of course we'd all love to see the process and progress here, I'm sure there will be many others in that section who don't come by to this part of the MC that would appreciate your efforts.
Good luck!
Mick
