Mandolin
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Roger A. Skipper
Skipper, an instrument maker and Fine Woodworking author, made this mandolin after seeing one made by Norman Adams, a luthier and woodworker from Gassaway, West Virginia. Made of spruce, maple, and ebony, the fingerboard and turned head are inlaid with gold mother-of-pearl and red and paua abalone. The tuning keys, tailpiece and thumbscrews on the bridge are gold. The mandolin is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer.
