Handmade mandolin nut from gaboon ebony. It is going on a resonator mando for a shop down the road who hired me to finish it up for them. You know how hard it is not to break one of these when the smallest strings are spaced basically 1mm apart? Most mandolins have a 30mm or so nut but this one has a 24mm nut which really cramps my style, pun fully intended. None the less, I am happy with this finished product. #lutherie #guitarbuilding #mandolin #cramped #woodworking #woodworkingporn #guitarporn #custom #exoticwood #ebony #nut #jewelersvice
