Mandolin build finished
Finished building an F 5 this week. Maybe the hardest project I've done.
I thought it came out pretty good, but got to show it to a mandolin playing friend who raved about it. He plays in several bands and has a hard time being heard. My mandolin is loud and punchy and should go head to head with banjos.
It still needs varnish, but it plays and sounds good. Very satisfying.
