Vintage Bowl-Back Mandolin Project Piece

This vintage bowl-back mandolin features a multi-strip rosewood bowl body, a spruce top with decorative purfling, and an ornate inlaid pickguard. It is equipped with a traditional eight-string configuration, a floating wooden bridge, and open-gear tuning machines with white buttons. The instrument is in poor condition showing significant finish cracking, wood separation, and wear throughout, requiring a total restoration to be playable.
