#756- Mastergrade Myrtle Tenor Ukulele

When I start with such a fancy set of Myrtle, it’s easy to feel inspired to match the rest of the parts to it. I picked some grafted Pistachio with dramatic grain and a curly Port Orford Cedar neck blank. I think the dark green Myrtle binding was also a good choice. I inlaid a Roman numeral 3 on the headstock, it’s the customer’s lucky number! The Myrtle is from the Oregon coast and the Pistachio from California orchards, via woodfromthewest.com. The Port Orford Cedar is salvaged from my neighbor’s shop, a retired flute maker.
