Martin’s mandolin

This week saw Martin’s mandolin; strung up, “in the white.” This is the first time that I’ve used this particular design of rosette and combined with the all the other cocobolo details, the design of the whole instrument is coherent. Aesthetically a limited pallet of tonewoods works really well.
