Archtop Mandolin Back & Side Sets

Bigleaf Maple is our domestic choice for our mandolin backs and sides. It is available in both curly and quilted figure with the quilted being rarer and a bit more difficult to obtain. Bigleaf can occasionally have a stringy texture and be a bit difficult to work but it is not enough to deter builders, as its popularity demonstrates. It finishes beautifully and sounds excellent.
