Neapolitan Mandolin striped bowl project late 1800s

Neapolitan mandolin dating from the late 1800s as far as we can tell. It’s been crudely repaired in the past with screws and glue. In need of restoration to play again.

This would be ideal as a learning project to try out your luthier skils or for spares for another project.

Please check photos for detail and ask if not sure.
