For Sale & Ordering
At the moment, I don't have any mandolins available. Orders are now starting to stack up a bit. I am alternating between A & F batches. If you're interested in getting on the list, contact me, and we'll figure all that out. Prices do change from batch to batch as I grow as a builder, and make upgrades. I am asking for a nonrefundable $1000 deposit to reserve a spot. There is a shorter wait for an A5, currently.
My recipe: Very well seasoned Sitka tops, western big leaf maple backs and sides, eastern sugar maple necks with a tapered dovetail joint, spirit varnish, Rubner tuners and James tailpieces. I do have plenty of Engelmann, Adi & Doug Fir on hand (maybe Noble soon?), and a decent amount of sugar maple. Split tops are also an option. Basically I can do whatever you want, but you should know that my supply of air dried, well seasoned Sitka is unreal, and some of it dates way, way back. Tough as nails, and I choose it over kiln dried Adi any damn day. I don't order spruce tops online. I drive to them and take the good ones home.
