Yes, Andrew will be auctioning it. It is my favorite MBU I've ever seen. I always get a kick out of watching the auctions. Will be interesting to see how it does. I think it will go for really big bucks.
 
I usually don't post my work here because most people know where to see it but this thread has already started and Len has run into problem posting photos. The uke is built from black & white ebony with an Adirondack spruce top. the inlays are scrimshawed faux ivory.

Exceptional! Wow.....can't wait to hear it when it goes to auction.
 
Makes me want to record my original jazz song "Night Rose" on such an instrument!!! Just been so lazy, but a uke like that has a real kick!

"You are the night rose in my garden of dreams... that only blossoms when the moonlight gleams..."

Been trying for years to get a Moore Bettah and now I can't even see a picture of one?! Ugh ;)

Hahaha. That's sad and funny.

Edit to add: I first replied from the first page and hadn't seen the pictures. Chuck that headstock is a masterful and stunning rendition of th human form. Thank you again for making such great art for us all to see and hear. Seriously, thank you.

Absolutely incredible!!! The scrimshaw work is breathtakingly beautiful. I am in love with the headstock....from strictly an artistic point of view;).
