This stock alto ukulele was built mainly to test a Cedar stump I milled. I got it from The Dee Mill and it comes from Parkdale, just up the road from here. It is a more contemporary tree than I usually use, with wider grain. But I knew that if I split the log and sawed off the split, I could get well quartersawn tops for stability and tone. I really love the look and sound of it, maybe a bit brighter than closer grain tops. The back and sides are some local Walnut and the neck is Redwood, also from The Dee Mill. The fretboard, headplate, bridge and top binding are some Myrtle from a Portland tree. This one is rustic and wabi-sabi, with a couple of small aesthetic flaws and light scratches in the top which is reflected in the price.
