Most of my Myrtle comes from Southern Oregon, near the coast. But this tree is from Portland, probably planted as a decorative tree mid 20th century. I got a few boards from the sawyer, https://www.epiloguelumber.com, who specializes in milling urban trees. The grain is wide, but it’s still stiff. The dark markings, curl and figure is fantastic. I have more of it, so just ask and I’ll use it on yours. The neck of this uke is also Myrtle from the same tree. Everything else is Pistachio from woodfromthewest.com.

“Dear Aaron and Nicole-

I love sopranos, and Aaron has knocked it out of the park with this beansprout! The tonality, playability and aesthetics are all superbly executed. It’s truly a wonderful instrument, and I haven’t put it down since it arrived. Thank you for every attention to detail, exemplary customer service, and for bringing joy to so many lives through your crafts. Looking forward to the release of the new clawhammer book as well.

With admiration-
J.K.”
