King Brown's Corner
Welcome to the King Brown Mandolin Armrests blog! Here you'll find news, musings, and maybe even a yarn or two about mandolins, armrests, and everything in between. Pull up a pew, grab a cuppa, and have a read.
I built my first Mandolin in 1986 after being inspired by a fellow member of the Cardwell County Bluegrass Band. Bob Hull was our Banjo player. Since then I have made 33 Mandolins, mostly F5 Bluegrass Models with a few A Models thrown in. I have also made some Violins, a couple of Ukuleles, a Mandola and some Guitars.
These days I concentrate on making Mandolin Armrests and wooden toys for my two Grandsons (as well as fixing things they break). I also enter an article of woodwork into the Royal Queensland Show in Brisbane each year.

Well, here we are not quite 2 weeks into the New Year and news arrives via email that Sendle has suddenly and unexpectedly closed down. Although I didn't use Sendle for deliveries from this store, I have used it over the last few years for delivering my products. Their service was good with fast deliveries and good prices.
RIP Sendle. Thank you.

Did you know you can save big on postage by talking to and working with your friends and associates?
I can send up to 4 Armrests for the cost of postage of 1.
All you need to do is contact me prior to placing your order and I will do the rest.
