Had my Barron River Huon pine / Tassy blackwood tenor from Allen McFarlen for a couple of weeks. I am very impressed with it. I believe you may have read the review by Any Chen about his tenor. Well... this is his twin uke in a sense!
Some specs from the website:
Blackwood Tenor
Blackwood and Huon Pine with curly Mango bindings.
Head plate is York Gum burl, with Gidgee fret board and bridge.
Fitted with Gotoh Stealth machine heads and a K&K Aloha Twin pickup.

These are some pictures which I have an additional scratch guard installed before shipment.
I love this uke. It has superb playability and has a very very strong mids in terms of tone. I have been playing with it for a couple of weeks and it has been sounding better each day! The trebles are settling in and it plays and sounds awesome. It has very very strong mids which I love and sounds awesome when amplified with the K&k installed.
It has a perfect finish and the workmanship is flawless! The only factor that I wish for will be a 14 fretter to the body and I understand this is a point to hit the sweet spot in this build with a 12 fretter.
In all, I love it and recommend this to all those out there wanting a professional grade instrument that shines acoustically and reach out to you in its simple yet beautiful aesthetics.
Perhaps.... a mahogany tenor
