We have become well known for using woods from the west coast over the years and this one is a great example. The body is made of some wispy, feather figured Myrtle that I got from luthier Jayson Bowerman. Myrtle only grows in a small part of Oregon and California. It even has some filled tracks from some insects that were in the tree, which adds to its organic charm. The Pistachio for the fretboard/headplate is from California orchards. The neck is Port Orford Cedar and Walnut, both local woods for us. This ukulele is lightweight, resonant and easy to play. It is a good example of why I call Myrtle “Oregon’s Koa!”
