I love that I get to take the same collection of materials again and again, but make an ukulele that looks completely different than the one before it. This variability is one of the best parts of working with wood compared to more uniform materials. This Port Orford Cedar top is a great example. It is one wide piece, not book matched, and includes some off center natural brown stripes. It sounds as good as all the other POC tops, but looks unique. The top is from the Oregon coast, the walnut is urban salvage from Goby in Portland, the pistachio fretboard, headplate and bridge are from California orchards and the hemlock neck is salvaged from a barn in The Dalles, OR.
