When I was in Port Townsend last year for the ukulele festival, my friends Jere and Greg took me to a lumber store called Edensaw. We had fun looking at all the crazy woods and tools and before we left I grabbed a couple of boards of this colorful curly walnut. Paired with some subtle pistachio it makes for a great looking and sounding banjo. Also, I send a shoutout to whatever goat gave us this skin, it certainly is beautiful!
