For this project, I started with a board of buggy White Oak from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland. I stained it to look like Arts and Crafts and Mission style furniture before I applied the finish coats. Billy also wanted the brass darkened and the goat skin head stained, which make for a cohesive look that I really enjoy. It has an arm rest, a low g and a pickup as well. It is loud and rich, with a dusty edge to the tone, which I expect from oak.

“I have had the chance to play the banjo uke a bit more now and I just want to say that I love it as much as I thought I would. I love the tone and the action. It has been greatly admired by the St Albans uke community! Another work of art by Aaron. Thank you.
