Thanks Jeff! Your sunburst class is my go-to for all things nitro. Translates into many other finishes too, section on tape is worth the price of admission. R Eliot
Jeff has a no-nonsense, precise way of presenting different techniques, materials and tools for accomplishing the finishing process. For me these courses are a bargain. When you are ready, I can recommend them. Thanks, Jeff! Steve
My first Mandolin. This instrument was brought to me by a customer whose father had brought it with him when he emigrated to this country from Italy in 1911. It was in pretty rough shape and I was excited to take on the challenge of bringing it back to life. It was also my first attempt at a Sunburst finish and I’m pleased with the outcome. I would like to say a special thank you to Robbie O'Brien for his online course for Mandolin building I referred to it a lot, and to Jeff Jewitt and his online course for Sunburst finishes. Both course can be purchased on Robbie O’Brien’s Website they are easy to follow and excellently presented! Robbie Kilchenstein
