I don’t use customer wood very often, but when Claro walnut like this comes in the mail, it’s hard to say no. This was originally cut for gunstocks, but we were able to get 3 ukes and a banjo out of it. I like that math. The spruce top is from the old dulcimer builder’s stash and can’t be beat. The pistachio is from California orchards. The special bird’s foot purfling is made by Gurian in Seattle.

Just a note of thanks. Took a bit of playing to get used to the small differences from my {other ukulele}. Sounds great, nice action, quickly becoming an old friend. Now if I can play up to the quality of the instrument.
Best regards
