Sneaky Peak!

Just I thought I’d show you how the Tru-oil was going on!

Getting there……….

As you saw in the last video, the neck and fretboard joined the body and we now have a whole e-mando! Since then, it’s been fretted, neck carved and had a jolly good clean-up.

So, the next thing is to work on making/fitting the hardware, getting it playing and then taking it apart ready for finishing. This one will be done in Tru-oil; I know there’s quite a bit interest in using this finish, so I’ll do another video to show you my process.

Nava Archtop Mandolin Demonstration

Well, here’s a treat for you! Craig, the new owner of archtop #4, sent me a video of him putting the mandolin through its paces. Amanda and I were delighted to receive it and really enjoyed hearing Craig's playing; hope you do too!

Thanks again Craig.
