Hey, this is a build I've been working on for a bit. A couple pics of my mandolins slipped in too.


I also bend with a heated pipe, but I like to get the rough shape first like this.


I joined the top with a router and a straight edge.


I cut circles and route some rosette channels on my routing table.


Balls, didnt go deep enough : (
look at about 4 o'clock






Mando I've been slowly working at






And what a mess....

Thanks for looking. I'll post back when done if you guys would like.

Lookin' good!

I like your headstock shape.

And that's one honker of a tail block! Any particular reason to make it that thick?

I think its just the angle if the picture. Both blocks are one inch thick, and the tail block is just a tad taller than the heel block.

What a cool looking guitar. The square shoulder body reminds me of this larson...
