Curly, Burly, Quilty, Naughty Myrtle

No rules in ukulele!  Just keep it fun!  Here’s a Hawaiian ukulele  that made me smile a lot while working on it.   George really got into some new, freaking gorgeous Oregon Myrtlewood that I received and couldn’t resist.    It’s all Myrtle with a Koa “T” band figured black walnut neck.  The finger board and bridge are Mexican Ziricote.  The back strip and binding are curly Koa and the accents are Vanuatu Maidou burl.  I used PHD low “G” strings.  Oh yeah, the whale is black and white mother of pearl.  Upon receipt last week George made the following comments:  “this is a spectacular uke!  Gorgeous look and outstanding sound.”  Thanks George.  I couldn’t ask for more and, yes, I’m still smiling!
