Noa Bonk just finished my Ko'oalu and Andrew from HMS just posted pics and a video on Facebook!
All my ukes from Hawaii are made with an indigenous wood ie koa or milo so that it reminds me of the instrument's origin.
The hard part is waiting for the uke but I already feel a connection since I know Noa and Andrew. For the last several years, I only purchase customs if I know the luthier as I want to show my support to them and I believe you get a part of their soul in each instrument.
SPECS
Front: European Spruce
Back & Sides: Curly Koa
Bindings: Darker Curly Koa
Purfling: Black, Red, Black
Fretboard: Bound Flat Madagascar Rosewood
Side Sound Port
Strings: Southcoast Low G
Finish: Gloss Nitro
