I have pics, the gluing did not go very well, but this is was a practice and I got better ways of building this.

I got at least another 12 weeks, I'll run out of wood, before I run out of projects.

Hi, here is a similar project from some years ago, a flying V mandolin. I find it far easier to join the timber prior to cutting the shape.

I like the mando-V Taff. Is that body hollow? I'm thinking of doing a Hollow V once I work out the solid one.

Hi JP, it's a solid body. All that stuff on the top would not leave much of an area left suitable for acoustic response from the top. If I wanted decent acoustic sound I would need nothing on a top of that size and shape.
