Below you will find pictures of some of my work.

Here is a

Mapleglo refinish

I performed on a

badly chewed up Rickenbacker.

Here we have a fingerboard scoop I did on a Clauson mandolin.

The finish on this Weber mando had been sanded away in places.

The customer and I chose to go with the red stain and burst you see below. The line at the left is a reflection caught intentionally to show the gloss.

I made him this custom pickguard out of a cigar box lid.
