I stumbled upon this old thread again. If you Google anything about "ukes" and "The Tree" you end up getting to read, for free, a whole litany of off target attempts at character assassination about me. Ah, the wonders of the internet. At least I'm still relatively anonymous I guess. I would be happy to post some pictures here when I have some finished product for those interested, although it won't be for awhile. I've managed to find a guitar builder who's accepting some of the wood in barter as partial payment for my guitar using the wood, and a uke builder who it looks like is willing to do the same. It's all working out, but it's been quite a journey getting there - remember I stumbled upon the chance to get this wood and have no wood brokering or lutherie experience myself. Part of the fun has been getting to meet and work with some really cool people, and of course when it's all done, I'm going to have one really cool guitar and one pretty slick concert uke too!
