At the risk of someone getting mad at me for posting to much I thought you may like to see this.
This is the only left handed Tucker mandolin there is. Got to get the neck down to size and a little sanding and it will be ready to stain.

Very nice! Can't post too many. If someone doesn't want to look, they don't have to, right?

Thanks for posting the pics....I never get tired of nice mandos and the like.

Well, yall have done seen her naked so I thought you might like to see these. May start laying some lacquer tomorrow. Got a few glue spots to fix. That stain will let you know right quick how good you are getting the glue spots out.

Melvin,
Man that is sweet. When you started what plans did you use, if you used any, and how much have you changed from those plans? What number mandolin is this?
Thanks for sharing
Peter

Peter I didn't use any plans. I actually designed this one myself. It is a little different than most other A style mandolins.

It really is a cool, unique Mandolin!

I agree with Martin, I love seeing other instruments, besides guitars. Not that I make them, or want to, but knowing them and knowing about them is very interesting to me.
