maple mandolin continues.... the fretboard was aslvaged from the damaged neck and fitted to a new neck...

then fitted to the body

now, the maple is pretty. it has figure in there, but now it's time to "pop the maple" and raise the grain first mix up some lacquer with yellow dye

and apply to the maple

sand it off

re-apply

and sand again

then we're ready for regular clear coats
