Beautiful. Nice work.  Alcohol or water based? I'm attempting my own little project and wondering about sealer. Did you apply a sealer and if so, was it before or after you stained it? Thanks for sharing.

Alcohol soluble dyes (Transtint) applied to bare wood, sealed after staining with sprayed blonde shellac.

Это Ваша работа над мандолиной? Я приятно удивлена, что у нас в России есть мастера, которые делают мандолины.

ah interesting this is the mandoline cafe mandoline. i just browsed that website and saw the challenge... would like to restore an old ebay-mandoline that i can get for like 30-50 bucks, do you think i can do it ? we have glue here, a workshop and i can get new strings...

very nice

sometimes sunburst finishes seem a little to crisp when the color meets another color but u did this amazingly.  By the looks of it you used 3 colors and would rub the next color into the next right?
