This instrument is inspired by a baritone ukulele I made for Lizann, keeper of the Carpenter Ant stash. I like how all the reds, tans and browns flow together with no black purfling, laminations or inlays. The Dogwood back and sides are from a tree on Lizann’s property that her dad Ken milled many years ago. Dogwood is rather hard and serves well as a back and sides for ukuleles. The Cedar top is also from the Carpenter Ant stash, from a board that Ken bought to use for ukuleles. The Pistachio fretboard/head plate/bridge is all green/brown swirls, which is a good match to the Dogwood. The Cedar of Lebanon neck is from the scrap bin at Camp Westwind. I have no idea if it was labeled correctly or how this non-native tree came to be there. Cedar is a nice choice for ukuleles, as it has nice sustain and a rusty brightness as well.
