Hi Fillipo, This is my fifth mando (second F style),about my 60th instrument . I was generally suicidal when I was doing the binding. Really glad it's over-great to be getting back to guitars!! |

Oh, man. My hat is off to anyone who does a decent rendition of an F mandolin. Yours goes way beyond decent. There's a good reason you don't see many in blond, and why the sunburst ones go to black around each of the joints. My first F mandolin got put aside a couple of years ago (got the headstock bound, but got hung up on fitting the neck joint). Congratulations, great job. |

Wow! Did you ever make that come together nicely. Great headstock. Sigh..... maybe one day. I think I'll try an "A" style first.  Danny |

Wow.....that is wonderful all around. A superb job. I started mine about 5 years ago - got the plates glued up, bent the rims, then froze in a state of panic - the rims are still in the mold under a layer of dust.... |

Hot diggity dang that is gorgeous!  Great job, and as Howard said, hats off to you! My first F style mando is half complete. I'm also stuck on the binding. ![[uncle]](./images/smilies/surrenderflagqv6.gif "Uncle") I haven't touched it in 3 years! I love what you did.

Yow, even bound the f-holes...you are a glutton for punishment. Seriously though, that looks like it came out great! It's inspiration for my own first F-5,which is currently in the "stack o' lumber" stage. Congrats! |

Thanks for all the nice words. The funny thing is that I also had a "block",when I got to the binding stage of this thing-it literally sat on the shelf for seven years before I got back to finishing it! |
