Well, I've made some progress on the Mandolin. I've done some veneers on the back & top of the headstock and trimmed it to shape using a piece of tool steel sharpened and set in a drill press. My preferred method for doing this. Very safe for the headstock & my fingers.
I've also rough tapered the neck so now it sort of looks like a Mandolin..
Guess I have to break out the go-bar deck next and finish the back .....

| It is a really simple method, not fast as it takes many passes but easy and safe |
