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

The McClung patent pending Ready Stock
Curly Maple McClung
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.

The McClung design is now one year old. Several
improvements were made along the way. The shape
and size has changed several times, but the best angle
was discovered on the way. Several improvements in
color/finish have combined style with function.
