I love it, congratulations!
I especially like the little details and how Chuck finds new creative ways of doing things - the fret markers being bubbles - even the fact that the two eyes and the two bubbles land on the twelfth fret.
Really cool!

Congratulations on all the great things happening in your life! Chuck's ukuleles are magnificent, and among the great things about them is that they not only come from Chuck's heart, they also come with the friendship of Chuck and his wife, Bonnie. The inlay on yours is jawdropping in photos, and I know that Chuck's inlays are even more spectacular in person, so I can only imagine how hard it is for you not to look at your new Moore Bettah all the time. Welcome to the Moore Bettah family (I have a NSB tenor that I absolutely love)!
P.S. If you haven't already, you should buy a copy of Staci's Moore Bettah book.

From what I understand the eyes are natural inclusions (knots) in the wood. Very cool!

Wow, Natalie.....
Congrats. That is one gorgeous uke. :drool:
They are right when they say Chuck is special. He must be the most sought after luthier in the world.
Even though I am in the honeymoon stage with my Cocobolo Ukulele right now, you still made me lick my lips and drool on my chin a little.
I'm kinda still in the honeymoon stage with my gal Tammy, and I think I always will be, we jam together every evening that I'm off work. I hope your new guy is a uke picker too, there's nothing like it.
Enjoy it to the hilt, play the living h--- out of it! I hope you give us a review after you've had it awhile, that would be a good read.
(Pssst, maybe you could throw us a pic of your guy too)

Thank you everyone for the sweet comments! To mmstan, wickedwahine11, and sukie: thank you for your input on helping me decide what to get in my MBU. This experience has been very special for me, because it reinforced how amazing and unique the ukulele community is. I am so lucky to know you all.
As usual, Chuck's work is stunning. Congrats on such a beautiful instrument!

What a beautiful uke.
Although the artwork is jaw dropping, the green trim adds something special, I like it.
I like it a lot!
Please post a sound sample soon.
Congrats,

Congratulations on both the ukulele, and getting engaged! Lots to celebrate!
Natalie, congratulations on both, your engagement and acquiring one of best built instruments of it kind. I am sure that the Uke has met, if not exceeded, your expectations. Love the green purfling, it counterpoints and draws all the elements together at the same time. Chuck is truly both an artist and a master craftsman and you are one lucky and deserving devil!!!

Congratulations, I guess it goes without saying, "another happy MB owner". I don't think there is any such thing as an unhappy MB owner!
