So actually the NUD was the Saturday after Christmas, but I have been too busy playing this thing to pause and take pictures, let alone make a sound sample.
Ancient Sitka Spruce - This was found buried in the mud when a wood supplier was expanding their building. Fortuitous? It carbon dated as 2850 years old! Who knows how long it was buried, but it absorbed minerals from the soil and has a blue/grey tint to it. It sounds great!
The wood is rather hard to get ahold of as they only have one log and only cut it a couple of times per year. I was lucky enough to get a set that had enough wood for 2 tenor ukes. This is the first uke I had made with it.
I thought it would look nice paired with Cocobolo and Byron found a nice set with some sapwood. It looks great and it sounds even better!
