It's Engelmann Spruce top has one bear claw mark adding a bit of character rare in Engelmann.  The fretboard and bridge are East Indian Rosewood. The nut and saddle are made of American bison (buffalo) bone. The laser incised pinecone at the peg head is maple on the walnut neck
# 63 is sold
$550  This brilliant sounding uke has a cosmetic flaw and I am reducing the price as a second.  
Englemann Spruce top, walnut neck, maple sides and back, maple peg head plate with incised pinecone image, Peghed tuners, Honduran Rosewood fretboard and bridge, buffalo bone nut and saddle. green Aurora strings.    If you look closely you can see a dark line above the sound hole alongside the G string.  there is also a tiny filled tack  hole that shows near the fretboard between the G & the C string.



The sides and back are lovely tiger stripe maple,  Big leaf maple from the forests of Washington State.  The Walnut neck is from  a tree that grew here in Bellingham and that I have had drying for 35 years.  The tuners are Pegheds. The end cap at the neck body joint is Honduran Rosewood outlined with a maple strip. Great tone and low action.
#68  CONCERT PINECONE
#68 sold on july 22nd and will be singing in 
Glendale Cal.
#68  $600-   A perfect Engelmann Spruce top set off by the East Indian Rosewood fret board and bridge.  The unbleached buffalo nut and saddle accompany the small mother of pearl marker dots on top and tiny white dots in the side of the fretboard.  This one is strung with Aurora/Aquila multi-color strings and a low G.  Happy to change it to re-entrant if you wish.
If you like tight tight tiger stripe this is the uke for you.  As pretty a piece of maple as I have seen, finished of course with many coats of French Polish for a rich glow.  The heel cap is honduran rosewood set off the walnut with a strip of maple veneer.

Concert Pinecone #70
SOLD TODAY 7/14/15. #70 WILL STAY IN BELLINGHAM
$600;  Number 70 is now complete with its Peghed tuners.  This is a handsome Pinecone with a really spectacular back.  The big leaf maple does amazing things and when it is carved concave provides exceptional volume and tone.  East Indian Rosewood fretboard on a walnut neck  accents the lovely almost yellow look of the Engelmann Spruce top.  These great ukuleles come equipped with Aurora/Aquila colored strings and they sound great with a low g string if you prefer.  A low G can be fitted for another $3.00.  Then you will have an extra re-entrant G string for a spare.
