This site is intended to introduce you to the instruments I build here in the heart of Texas.

I focus on building instruments based on century old techniques which will not only provide enjoyment now, but continue to build throughout your lifetime. I strive to build instruments that you will be proud to pass on to your heirs.

I have one focus -- bluegrass mandolins and guitars! My goal is to produce the highest quality instruments at the most economical price possible, and one of the ways I accomplish this is by focusing on only F5 style mandolins and dreadnought guitars -- that's all I make.

Note: A French polished varnish finish is now standard on all mandolins.
