Hello everyone!  Its a few days before Grey Fox and I continue to finish up these mandolins.

The mandolins in this picture are taped off, sealed and ready for color.

In this pic, the color is now applied!

I have also cleaned up the binding.  I like how the F-model looks like it is on fire.  I love it when I can let the beauty of the wood come through.  Now I will spend the rest of the time buffing out the varnish and putting on the hardware.

Here, in this picture I am reaming the peg holes.

I look forward to seeing you all at the festival!  I looked at the weather forecast today and it looks sunny, sunny, sunny!

Until next time,

Martin
