Patrick Wright Andrew--FYI. #40 and I relocated from OKC to Johnson City TN. Lot of great mando playing going on around here!
Jordan Rogers This is one of the best sounding mandolins I've ever heard. I have started saving my money up, so I think in a couple of years I'll have enough to buy my dream Mowry Mandolin.
Mowry Stringed Instruments Well, here are a few photos of the most recent batch. This includes my first mandola, which is on it's way to Carmel music, along with some other goodies. Thanks for looking!
Mowry Stringed Instruments Thanks Joshua! Lately I've been varnishing. Here's an F5 that needs one more sanding, French polishing, and then a little more curing time before final assembly.
Joshua Collum Thanks for sharing your photo's of your amazing work.....
Mowry Stringed Instruments The past few weeks I've been working on binding mandolin bodies, fretboards, and headstock overlays. Three of the instruments have tortoise plastic binding, and one (the F5) has the more traditional ivoroid.
Mowry Stringed Instruments I'm wading deep in the next batch of instruments. This one has an A-model mandola, an F5 with a one-piece sugar maple back, an A5 with engelmann and bigleaf (my favorite combination), and a birdseye two-point with lots of custom details. I just closed up the bodies on all of them.
Mowry Stringed Instruments This week: Completion! Always an exciting time.
Larry S Sherman I used to only dream of Mowry octave mandolins...but now I'm in the owner's club! Amazing tone, playability, and beauty-thanks Andrew!
Mowry Stringed Instruments Doing some final sanding this week, and then on to about five weeks of finishing...
