Another sweet, democratic and fun Scout ukulele. The top is choice old growth spruce and the back and sides are amazing spalted Myrtle from the Oregon coast. For the fretboard, I am trying persimmon, which I got from another builder. Also called white ebony, persimmon is a great domestic hardwood suitable for luthiery. The neck is old growth Douglas fir, salvaged from some stair treads.

“Hello Keim family,
We received our Scout ukulele (#439) yesterday. My wife, Marsha, loves it. She thinks it’s just adorable and I gotta agree. It’s a beauty! And it sounds great too, it really pops! So now I can hardly wait for my tenor uke - I’m on Aaron’s January build list. Thanks again.
