I think this is the fourth instrument I’ve made from this Myrtle tree, harvested near Portland by Epilogue. It has curl and some unique dark coloring that I love. It also has a balanced and vibrant sound, which suits the ukulele well. The neck is from some Alder scrap wood from the Carpenter Ant stash. I’m hoping to find some more Alder in the future, I think it feels great as a neck. The fretboard, headplate, bridge and binding are all Pistachio from California orchards.
