Treasure Coast Woodcarvers   

LOU SIMON

   LOU HAS BEEN WORKING TO CREATE A MANDOLIN.   

   HE IS CREATING TWO. 

   LOU HAS BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, FIRST, CREATING A MODEL BEFORE HE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE ACTUAL MANDOLINS.

   THE PHOTO SHOWS BOTH MANDOLINS AS WORK IN PROGRESS.  THE DETAIL WORK IS INCREDIBLE.  ALL THE PARTS MUST BE MATCHED WITH PRECISION.  TOP AND BOTTOM MUST BE HAND CARVED TO A PRECISE FORM. 

   LOU HAS CREATED TEMPLATES SO HE CAN CARVE AND SAND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TO THE EXACT DIMENSIONS.

   LOU HAS ALSO MADE A BANJO FOR HIS SON, WHICH WAS ALSO A MASTERPIECE.

   WELL DONE LOU
