Mandolin #3
"The Good Wood Mandolin"

Based on 1950-1960 Stella A-style mandolin. It is
salvaged lacewood, ebony, and recycled Douglas fir.

My third mandolin is made out of lacewood (Australian Silky Oak) that was given to me. The lacewood was lumbermill cast-offs probably destined for the chipper. The mandolin's back is "ribbed" like early European stringed instruments. This instrument has a very warm, pleasant sound. It is called the "Good Wood Mandolin" because it was accepted in the Southern California Woodworkers "Good Wood" show in Pasadena.
