I did not convert a mandolin.The instrument is made by GOLDTONE.Cripple Creek series I believe.I traded a lady a Tub Bass for it at the Palatka Blue Grass festival last October and fell in love with it.Been playing it ever since.

I play a Manditar the size of a Mandolin but has six strings like a guitar.I am now building this instrument in a cigar box fashion.For the neck I used maple and oak with the 3/16" oak sanwiched between the two halves.This not only adds strength but also keeps the neck from twisting.When you laminate pieces you gain strength.My wash tub bass risers are made of cherry and oak.the cherry riser and paddle are actualy three plies of cherry and the oak riser and paddle are three plies of oak.
Good luck,
Terry
I just sent you a comment a few minutes ago.Or did I some how delete it.It was about laminating a neck.Let me know if you received it.
Thanks,
Terry
Ash is a hard --- wood.Base Ball Batts are made of Ash.Little or no blemish etc. as a Base Ball Batt ie a sweet spot etc. I have not heard of a neck made of such but who knows?I bet it would make a heck of a neck like for a Mandolin or a short neck Guitar.Something to ponder!What do you think L.J.,Brian,etc?
Thanks,
Terry
