Compression Curl Koa Tenor Ukulele

Ooh la la!  Here’s a new Compression Curl Koa Tenor Ukulele I delivered to Hale Ukulele a couple of weeks ago.  I decided with this build to just feature the wood, so there is very little in the way of embellishments.

I did use Fuschia/Black fiber for purfling and rosette.  That’s about it.  It didn’t last long–maybe one week.  So it is no longer available.

 

I only had one set of this amazing looking Koa and that was just for the top and back.  It was sourced out of a cabinet shop in Northern California by my friend Dan.   Fortunately, I found orphan sides that matched really well in curl and color.

 

Oh well, back to the bench!
