Two new Nava mandolins
Below you can see some choice photos of the two latest mandolins
that await delivery. Here is John’s cocobolo twin-point with the custom tree inlay and Tristan’s maple Standard
No.IV. Two more instruments that I’m proud to send out into the world; hope
that you like them too!
Hi, I make mostly mandolins and guitars, entirely by myself and by hand. Although I’m based in the Norfolk Fens, my instruments can be found all over the world. I made my first guitar when I was 14 and during the 1970s studied luthiery at the prestigious London College of Furniture. I’ve been making them ever since!

Gary, I can't imagine how you accurately cut the channel for the oval rosette - it looks wonderful! Is there an earlier post that reveals the secret?
Beautiful work, Gary!
