A TREASURE TROVE OF UKULELE WOOD

I HAVE COME into a small treasure trove of beautiful ukulele wood,  far more than I can ever use in my remaining uke building years.  Englemann Spruce tops perfectly quarter sawn,  AAA Grade,- Sitka Spruce  of all grades,  in sizes from Baritone to Soprano,  Wonderful tiger stripe maple for backs of Baritones, tenors, concerts or sopranos,  Some rather rare Quilted maple.  
all of this wood originally came from the same mill that supplies Martin and Taylor.  What am I to do with it. 


Well, I will set aside some of the very best for myself,  Englemann is  getting hard to find and I am thrilled to get this.  The rest I will simply sell to ukulele luthiers at bargain prices.  


Today I inventoried it all.  Soon I will advertize it on the web-site at give-away prices,  I simply don't need it all- so if you know of anyone who builds ukes,  Let them know that there are going to be some bargains here.

A rare piece of maple that will make an incredible uke.

Quilted maple of this complexity is really quite unusual.  

An there are dozens of pieces of truly beautiful Sitka Spruce tops, either wide enough for one piece tenors, concerts and sopranos, but many perfect Sitka spruce book matched tops for Baritones or anything smaller.
