#773- Curly Port Orford Cedar and Dogwood Alto Ukulele

Everything on this uke is wavy, curly, funky and wild looking. It makes for a fun project, with all the curves and angles working together to make a complete look. The top and neck are curly Port Orford Cedar from the Oregon coast, via woodfromthewest.com. The rest of the instrument is Dogwood, from a tree that Ken from the Carpenter Ant stash harvested from their yard in Portland many years ago. It features a headstock shape from an instrument made by Santo in the 1880’s, wooden strap buttons and no binding or rosette.
