Marya's birthday celebration in Seattle-house guests at home-stringing up several ukes,  Been a busy few days
Picture
Four great grand children to visit in Seattle,  Here is Finn riding the Rocking Bunny I made for his aunt 29 years ago.  It has rocked two generations now.
Picture
Back home  the next day we enjoyed a two day reunion with Casey and his son Cameron.  We helped to raise Casey fifty plus years ago,  We were working on a walking stick Cam had picked up on Stuart Island. Jointing it so he could get it home on the airplane.

Cam playing a C chord.

Got Kate's concert strung up this morning with UkeLogic low G strings. What a sweet little uke it is.
Picture
Bear claw Sitka Spruce soundboard.  The tilted saddle resulted in spot on intonation
Picture
And a lovely piece of maple.  This is not fiddleback nor quilt figure but sort of a combination of both,  a really unusual piece of big leaf maple.

Picture
While visiting my daughter's Seattle home I enjoyed seeing some of  my art work from the days before Lutherie
A French scene that I painted many years ago.

Picture
And a Haida design carved into cedar.  I got this wonderful  cedar 50 years ago and still have enough to make great ukulele soundboards.  Glad I did not use it all for carvings.
Picture
And the rocking Bunny.  I made one of these as Christmas presents for two  one year old grand daughters.  They are now 30.  Time flies but the bunnies still rock.
