This is mandolin #16 that was finished in spring 2022. I though you might be interested in the steps I take to measure and thickness the top and back. I will also add the final frequency responses that I measured.

I took mandolin #13 - red spruce top and curly maple back - to Olde Town Pickin' Parlor in Arvada Colorado today. Give Kit a call if you are interested in this fine mandolin.
Thanks, Durl
