That's incredible! It's a beautiful piece of sculpture and a charming musical instrument all in one, even though YouTube made a hash out of the synchronization.
Buy the book "The Ultimate Bluegrass Mandolin Construction Manual " and read it fully before you start building. It explains everything and has blueprints. Keep your tools sharp as purple heart wood is like iron to work with. It dulls tools easly, but looks great. Good luck
I've been planning on building a Mandolin out of purple heart for a little while, but I'm not sure how I should go about it. I've been sent links from friends, but they aren't making too much sense. Tips?
Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes these videos just don't do justice because of the poor quality video camera and audio recorder. I'm glad a wonderful person like you got this baby!
Hi - I am the extremely lucky individual who did purchase this!! Thanks Bill for the thrill every time I pick this up! This is an incredible instrument !
I covet this mando! This video does not do it justice as to how good it looks. It is simply beautiful. I will be eternally jealous of whoever buys it!
