Current Goings On

Seventh Batch!

2/17/2019

Cooking along with this run! All tone bars, fancier inlays, slight changes in the body shape. Just about finished with binding channel, and I'll get things glued up in the next week. Headed to Wintergrass next weekend! The list has filled out for most of the rest of this year. If you're interested in getting involved, now's a good time to jump!

What slight changes to the body did you make?

Thanks, Justin! As far as the body goes, I started using a print from a different Loar mandolin, and centered the neck. The templates I made are tough to tell apart by looking at them. The Loar necks were kinked to the side towards the scroll. I don't know why they were, and I just wanted to keep my center line centered.
