#495- Mastergrade Myrtle Tenor Ukulele

I call a Myrtle set “Mastergrade” when it has beautiful curl and amazing color variations and this set from woodfromthewest.com fits the bill. Myrtle grows in southern Oregon and Northern California and it is pretty rare to find a figured tree big enough to use for tonewood. For almost ten years now I have been making all Myrtle ukuleles and they never disappoint. The pistachio fretboard and headplate come from California orchards and the salvaged Douglas Fir neck (with a cool looking knot) comes from a salvaged floor joist.
