This CB mando has a cherry neck with mahogany fretboard and head overlay. This box is a little too small and the mando has a pretty thin tone so I may switch...

Thank you Dani and Bear. I was planning to play this mando on stage in York PA but it sold before I got to do it!

Love it. Mandolins always sound so happy and this is a very happy sounding song sung wonderfully, of course!

Thanks Gary. It goes to it's new owner today - I hope she thinks it's alright.

One of my favorite tunes!   Nicely done, Jim!  IMHO, there's NOTHING wrong with that mando!

Thanks Darryl. I love the sound of a mandolin but they can be frustrating to make. Very unforgiving about slightly innacurate fret placement and the amount of pressure of the 8 strings can crush some boxes. I had several failures before getting one to work.

Thanks Derek. One must achieve a zen like state to enjoy yardwork.

Great video...thanks for the effort...I forgot that I bought a book on mandolin construction at a garage sale...may have to give it a second look

Great cover Jim! Cool mando! Put me in a better mood after finishing my yardwork.
