This report is for a very patient guy named Trey who is getting a uke for his tenth wedding anniversary. Sorry it has taken so long Trey, but I am making progress now. As you requested here are some pictures of your new tenor as it is today. I hope to bend the sides tomorrow and then things begin to shape up quickly. Hope you don't mind my sharing your pictures with other viewers.
 I wiped a little naphtha on the back to show you the nice figure in this koa. When this is french polished I think it will be gorgeous.  The back is braced and labeled and ready to go.  the fret-board is Honduran rosewood, the peg head plate, spalted maple |  And here are the sides. This is really fine and delicate figure. I like it a lot.  This is some of my wonderful cedar. It gives terrific sound to ukes.  The pieces are mostly made, now it is just a process of putting them all together. This neck is Honduran Mahogany, the braces, Sitka Spruce. The butt piece is walnut. |
