Mango Me Baby More!
Yowza! Here's another mango tenor uke--same wood as in Mango Me Baby. Asymmetric sound hole, side concert sound hole, good figure and color in the mango but with my plumeria sound board inlay. It's interesting, but I really think that…
Mmmmmm More Maple
I have this "no rules" ukuleles thing. Here I've got some great spalted, curly maple but didn't have a real strong feeling about what the sound board should be made of. I used some of my unmatched Koa for a top on this instrument. Actually…
Mmmm Maple
I think I told ya'll that I was getting tired of looking at brown. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Koa, but I was just getting tired of all the "brown" instruments. So, other than Mango, I'm on a Maple kick. Got some really nice stuff…
Koa Concert Ukulele

Plumeria Tenor Ukulele
Hey you all! Here's a custom tenor ukulele that I made last year for Vickie. She liked the look of the Lacewood and also wanted the mother-of-pearl plumeria inlay on the sound board. Looks good and plays great-low "G" tuning. I'm only…
Mango me Baby!
Sometimes I just get tired of looking at "brown" woods. Sooooo, to change up the look, one of the many woods that I have used is Mango. Here, you will see an asymmetric sound hole tenor that I constructed out of figured and fairly colorful Mango.…
