HERE WE GO AGAIN

Picking out the wood for the next build of two Kasha tenors for Paul and Glenn.  These instruments will be going to Edmonton Alberta, and Mountainside New Jersey.  Today I was selecting the wood after beginning the French Polish on the Triplets.

Glenn's uke will have a tiger strip maple body and a "bear claw" Sitka Spruce soundboard.  It ought to be a stunner with these woods.

Paul decided on a mahogany body and he also chose "bear claw" Sitka for the soundboard.  I am just about out of this rather rare Sitka but just love to work with it.  I had one very interesting piece of Mahogany that will make a unique back.  Most mahogany is quite straight grained, but this piece has some character.  I think Paul will like it.

I believe you are accurate on your statement of liking you choice of mahogany back based on what I can see with these old eyes. If you keep it up like this Brian you are going to have me liking your instrument more than I'd imagined it.
