TWO BLONDES

Picture
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW what the daughter will look like when grown, look at the mother.  Well I guess that kind of fits with this picture.  The uke above is a just boxed up concert.  The uke below is a recently completed tenor.  I am rather fond of the looks of these" blondes". The Alaska Cedar necks and Englemann spruce tops contrast nicely with the brown tones of theKoa or Australian Blackwood backs and sides.  A Honduran rosewood fretboard and gold Ivo frets are all set off with some wonderfully figured Blackwood binding.  Understated elegance,  And the combo of woods sounds produces a warm and out reaching resonance.  The other two concerts just got boxed up tonight.  Tomorrow I can start the binding process.  I really don' t like to take the router to these new babies but that binder groove must be cut.
