I have finished the padauk build ( less pick guard ) I have strung it up and played it and I am very happy with the sound she makes . Here are a few pics of the Mando . I have some minor cleaning to do and a couple tweeks . But for all intents and purposes its done .

Hey Wud, what are the dimensions of that box (lower bout, length, depth. . .) and how does that compare to your other mandolas?

Lower Bout 10-1/2"
Upper Bout 7-3/4"
Body Length 15"
Thickness 2"
14th fret Mounted
Mandola Fret Board so you are two frets longer than a standard Mandolin.

You can do some research on Mandolinetto's and you will see alot of comparison from early century

This is basic design Ive used , changing F holes , or Oval sound hole , slight thickness diffrence etc:
