Boulder Mandolin Works

Boulder Mandolin Works

Boulder Mandolin Works is located in Boulder County, Colorado, right where the High Plains meet the Rocky Mountains.  These handcrafted F and A style mandolins reflect the simple beauty and natural spirit of the west.

Every Boulder Mandolin is hand made.  Using select tonewoods, each one is built by me from start to finish.  I don't have professional finishers or lazer cutters.  If you are looking for the chiseled, slick, mass produced look of a factory instrument, you probably won't be happy with what I have to offer

Every mandolin I build has its own unique sound and beauty.  Each Boulder Mandolin has a booked matched spruce top, figured maple three piece neck (maple-walnut-maple) (or one piece neck with truss rod), and a book matched figured maple back.  The sides are cherry wood.  The inlays on the headstock and radiused ebony fret board are crisp, elegant, and simple abalone shell or Mother of Pearl.  Most Boulder Mandolins have a classic tobacco brown fade to black lacquer finish
