It's been a very busy and productive lead up to the first holiday back to Canada to visit family and friends in 15 years.

Most instruments were commisions, but along with them I was building stock to have available for those who contacted me about getting something quick, as well as some uke festivals coming up later in the year.

First up a Sapele Tenor with bees wing figure. Gidgee fret board, Cocobolo bindings and satin gloss finish.
