It's the wood Ken Timms rejects that makes Ken Timms the best.

Does anyone rember John West and this advert (or similar) : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=egSD1MF0xWE
IIRC it all ended very badly for JW when their quality didn’t live up to their advertisements.

Most of my reject work is down to my own incompetence or stupidity..Sometimes I blame the wood or the tools but it's me really thats at fault.ld:
The cracked sides were caused by me making e'm too thick and not checking the size before bending, 3 sets broke before I found that out.

Who’s never made a mistake or forgotten to do something? The man who never made a mistake never made anything (else either), and we all look on at your work with admiration. I expect that I’ll never buy one of your Ukes, they’re in limited supply and I’ll never play well enough to justify having one. They're works of art though, and I always learn something from your posts.

I love the smell of honduran mahogany burning in the morning.

The secret is there is no secret. It's just practice, practice and more practice... Lighting the Barbecue with ukulele parts is just a gimmick
