mandola has the soundhole cut out and the bracing glued in place, but not yet carved

Doubleneck has the second set of strings on.

A LOAD of tidying up to do now.
screws in tuners
nuts tidied
pickups under saddles
preamp/tuner & switch fitted
strap buttons
frets on 6 neck sorted
intonation on saddles set.

inner & outer bwbw rings fitted on mandola rosette. still needs a bunch of sanding, but I've glued on the soundhole patch so hopefully on monday i'll get the soundhole cut and start the bracing.

Progress on the doubleneck continues, the bridge is shaped, drilled and glued in place. strings on the 6 neck "just to see" as the nut is not glued in, the saddle isn't intonated, the frets aren't levelled and the screws aren't even in the tuners, but I had to see, y'know?

I'm delighted as all the frets play smoothly up top #15 which needs a wee buff as 12and up are fretting out on the D string.......

the 12 bridge will be 2 strings per pin.......

the cherry mando progresses too, the neck is pretty much done, just the mortice to cut and then fret it.

segmented rosette

OK, so the doubleneck and cherry mando are getting well on the road, with both bodies getting a few coats of lacquer to seal them up nicely.

I've cut the ends of the fretboard on the doubleneck and will have the order off tonight for the tuners and the fretboard & tuners for the mando
