This beauty has a body of East Indian Rosewood and a Sonic Tested Lutz Spruce soundboard. Sounds great
|
First you must place the design on the soundboard  Next, whittling the soundbars to proper shape and length  Glueing on the sound boards takes a lot of clamps and a bit of time.  Finally the time comes when the sides can be added.  All those tone bars are now glued and clamped. Next , bending the sides THE KASHA DESIGN REQUIRES LOTS OF TONE BARS AND LOTS OF WHITTLING. A LITTLE SANDING AND GLUE AND THIS BARITONE SOUNDBOARD WILL BE READY TO GO
 This East Indian Rosewood is destined for the next Griffin baritone ukulele, but it it demonstrates the love of wood that all woodworkers experience. What a joy to work with natures beauty. A uke built with all local wood  Cedar from the Lake whatcom watershed, Spalted Maple from the old Maple that used to grace the Fountain District.  this is indeed a beauty and it even sounds OK.
Should have had a ukulele   Next years pollinators have completed metamorphosis and are now adults hibernating in their cocoons. Put them in a cool place for the winter and put them out again in the Spring. I put mine in the garage refrigerator.
 Three new tenors to choose from, James chose the rosewood. Here is the happy new owner.
the Black Walnut/Lutz and the Claro Walnut/Lutz at the bottom of the photo are still available. The baritone in the stand is already committed. |
