I haven't made an 8 string mando for quite a while so I figured it was time. The Fox is an old folk song that I'm doing in a Nickel Creek sort of style but o...

Le Guide Michelin has a three star system :-)

That makes sense Maddog. Now I gotta go look at your pics again and try to get a close up of it.

I'm not for certain it's actual Onyx per say Jim, I have a buddy that lays tile and he turned me onto this stuff (he calls it Onyx as I'm not sure if he knows exacly what it is). I use regular wood tools to cut it with the exception of when I cut the string slots, I use a triangular metal file to do that. My guess is it's a close relative of Corian.

Thanks Maddog. What do you use to cut onyx? Corian only requires regular wood working tools.

Thanks for the second - all in favor...... 

Comment by Maddog on May 10, 2016 at 1:56am

Now that's the way to start the day RIGHT! Thanks for the jump start Jim!  :-) 

P.S. I use onyx for the nut because I too hate the dentist smell of bone  :-( Going to give Corian a shot too as we have one of our customers at the Driftwood that is an installer.

P.S.#2  I will second Pick's suggestion for a Jim Morris album!
