If you have been following us for a while, you probably know how special Camp Westwind is to us. On the Salmon River estuary, with Spruce forest, tide pool beaches and rocky cliffs, it is a favorite retreat for our family. This top is made from Alaskan Yellow Cedar, harvested from a log that our friend Duncan found on the beach at Westwind. He cut a slice off it to use in his printing projects, which allowed him to count over 250 annual rings. We cut two sections of the trunk and have been splitting, milling and drying ever since. This is the first ukulele with this special wood! The back and sides are curly, spalted Maple, harvested by our friend Ben Bonham. The combination looks rustic and sounds sweet, I’ll certainly use it again. The neck is Hemlock and the fretboard, headplate, bridge and binding are Pistachio from California orchards.
