    Thanks Gary.  Just need to figure out a nice tailpiece for the loop strings and it will be ready to play.  It will include the world's first 8-string zero bone!  3, 4 and 5 string versions are already out there.

    Very nice, Eric!

    Thanks Uncle John.  Yes, this is an octave mandolin with a 21 1/2" scale length.  This one is another test of my creativity and I'm very pleased with the appearance so far.  Hope it will sound as good as it looks.

    Looks great.  Like it all, but especially the bridge/saddle.   Octave mando?
