Complete!!
Here is the completed mandolin after ~8-9 coats of tru-oil, micromesh 6000-12000 and buffing with Meguiar #2 polish. This is the first time I've ever used micromsh and I like it a lot, in spite of the high price. I then put a buffing foam disk (from StewMac) into my hand drill, put the hand drill in a vice and used it to polish the mandolin.

Congratulations, the mandolin looks absolutely fantastic! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading about the build from the start to the finish! It would be great to hear what she sounds like after she's been played in. Many thanks! Cathal
Cathal - thank you very much for reading and posting. I was hoping someone would benefit from my explorations. I have a little more setup work to do on the mandolin but in time I will post a sound sample. Cheers - Avi
