I am so lucky to use such awesome pieces of wood, especially when other folks consider them “scraps”! It helps me produce one of a kind instruments like this one and I love the process. The Redwood top for this uke is from luthier Jayson Bowerman and is my favorite in the shop. The English Walnut back and sides is from the Dee Mill, right down the road from me. The Pistachio is from California orchards. The Mahogany neck is a scrap from a retired furniture maker.
I think it might be the perfect combination of crisp sound and long sustain, I hope Ryan loves it!
