A lot of the boards I get from the Carpenter Ant stash were cut for Lizann’s grandfather, who made clocks. That means they are usually surfaced on four sides and just under an inch thick, intended for clock cases. This piece was labeled “tiger oak” on the end of the board and that label was right. Truly some of the most beautiful oak I’ve ever worked with. I also went bold on the pistachio fretboard and headplate, it just seemed right. The goat skin head and the brass arm rest add to the charm. This thing is sweet.

My Uke turned up today, thank you so much for all you’ve done.
To say the Ukulele is stunning is an understatement, as I expected, it sounds as good as it looks.
I cannot thank you enough for this, the Oak is superb.... I could sit and look at it for hours.
It’s been a great pleasure dealing with you from start to a happy finish. Thank you again.
