When large fish, such as tuna, chase small 'food' fish in open water the small fish form up into a swirling mass known as a "bait ball". Just google "bait ball" to see lots of pictures.
My daughter Katherine ("Kat") graduated as a marine science/biology major and has done research work on tuna. That was the inspiration for this uke graduation present. It is made out of koa that her mother and I brought back from Hawaii on our honeymoon. (baggage was free in those days). I do not know why I bought it since I was not making instruments in those days, but I must have had dreams because I brought back this 1/4 sawn koa and have had it sitting all these years.
