Hyacinth Bucket belongs to the world. For years we had a male neighbor like Hyacinth. If you saw him outside, you didn't venture out. He'd come over and talk your ear off.

Dub, my teeth have always been good. About fifteen years ago my dentist told me my gums weren't in good shape. I got a very deep cleaning in two installments. I finally started flossing regularly. I've been getting my teeth cleaned every three to six months ever since. No problems until now, and both the dentist and periodontist are puzzled by this problem because the rest of my mouth is fine. It doesn't usually work like that. Who knows?

I got two routes done before the storm hit. I was starting the third when we were called in. I'm glad you were called in.

I recently acquired a Weber Yellowstone Mandolin and I have been playing the dickens out of that lovely collaboration of woods. Sitka Spruce top, beautiful Maple back, and sides. It was finished out in a Redburst finish and with new strings, it has quite a lovely tone. Beautiful! Can’t wait to hear it. Now tell Deb you need a James tailpiece for Christmas.
Or one from master engraver Weldon Lister, in Boerne, TX:

Weldon is in Boerne, TX. I edited my original post and regret the error.

Hmm, I wonder if that engraving would be borrowable for a pick guard?

I am not sure if Weldon is taking commissions anymore; he may have retired—but he and his son Billy are now running a company called American Scroll. They produce a line of tee shirts and other accessories that bear his designs in silkscreen. americanscroll.com/
You could always try to contact him directly through the website if you care to follow through on this thought. You might mention that you're virtual friends with Howard, in Brooklyn. We have been following each other on Instagram for a few years.

You're welcome. Some of his designs are a little too, erm, right of center for me, but this bluegrass musicians tee is appealing.

I did see that and in fact, added it to my equipment list. Not sure how long it will take to arrive, but it is ordered. I will slowly work my way to some modification for the Weber. As I said, the tone is good so I want to go slow and make sure I do not lose that tine in the process.
