Project Mandolin

[liquidguitars]

I still working out the bugs on this model I already changed the headstock design and need a headstock inlay that will work with the carvewright.

Here is a picture of my "e mandolin" for you guys, I used violin varnish/shellac base and lacquer mixed with a water base mahogany stain.
wood is Canadian ceder and reclaimed flamed maple from the Oregon coast, ebony fingerboard.

I'll upload some sounds bytes hopefully in a few days.. Have a good weekend and say a small prayer for the Gulf coast to stop the oil and cap the well

Simply inspirational LG. I think what your making this machine do is amazing. I'm looking forward to hearing how it plays. I don't play guitar, but I have a strange desire to make one.

Just BEAUTIFUL as I expected. I have used violin varnish on a few things and is a great finishing step. Thanks so much for sharing!

LG...You never fail to amaze and astound me. Another beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Well done sir.

To cool! Outstanding woods, design, and build, the finish is beautiful as well. I was wondering if you sprayed the finish or brushed it on.
Buy the way the prayers started back when this happened, will see if today brings a solution to this catastrophe.
Good Day.
