A new concept to the armrest design. I call it the "McClung"
armrest after Ron McClung, who suggested it. Ron is an
excellent mandolin player.
It is shaped similar to my other armrests except it tapers
down toward the rim. The angle of the armrest follows
simular to the angle of the strings. I find this allows the
arm and hand to be in better position in relation to the
bridge, provides better control, and is more ergonomic.

No routing, everything is carved and
sanded. The only routing it the 1/8" bottom
lip is use on all my armrests.

Except for the angle, they look quite
conventional. As with many of my designs
they will fit close to the tailpiece.
