I'd like to think that that term describes the curly, blond Myrtle wood top on this new Hawaiian tenor ukulele and not a gentleman's club. Oh well, I'm doing it anyway. This is another of my mixed wood creations: curly black walnut back…
This is still one of my favorite wood combinations for the Hawaiian Ukulele: curly Hawaiian Koa and curly
Black Walnut. The wood densities are a close match for sound and the color contrast makes for an appealing…

Here's a new instrument with very specific requests. The Koa is absolutely killer. The shape is my Hula Hips Tenor with a lower bout at approximately 10.5 inches. Stephen selected this cool bear claw top wood of Alaskan Sitka Spruce.…

I can't seem to keep these instruments in stock. Don't know if it is the warm sound or the appearance. Nevertheless, here is another all Limba Hawaiian Ukulele. I've use a herringbone purfling and zipper back strip to accent this dark…

Ok, since I'm on a Myrtlewood kick, here is the finished product using the Oregon Tiger Stripe Myrtle that I posted this February. This Hawaiian tenor ukulele has a body of rare tiger stripe myrtlewood, the top is bearclaw Sitka Spruce (lots…

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…
Sometimes I wind up with incomplete front/back/side sets and then the mix and match situation occurs. Here I have a back and side Koa set that needed a top. Alternative Koa tops are a possibility but usually I place an alternative top on…
Yup! It's that time of the year again--the Olukai Ho'olaule'a on Maui May 1-3. The showcase of this gathering is a downwind SUP and OC1 paddle/race from Maliko Gulch to Kanaha beach. This is a great social gathering displaying many…
Here's a few pic's of a new Hawaiian Tenor Ukulele made from Hawaiian Spalted Mango. This instrument is made from the same wood as the last Mango ukulele, but each instrument can appear dramatically different due to the rapidly changing patterns…
