I know that the other instrument you posted, the "Grafton" has received most of the comments, but to me this is the more stunning design. Simply gorgeous.
 
This is really a stunning uke, absolutely beautiful!
Great work Tom!
 
Great looking Uke. Any sound samples posted anywhere. Also curious with how wood is inflated around sound hole and up to upper bout. Very cool. Is this what you refer to as pkaywood?

Thank you M3Ukulele I'll be posting ademo in the next few days.

The inlay is common plywood found in big box hardware stores. It's inlaided flush with the sound board. Here's a few pics taken during the build. Hope that helps!

That is interesting that you would inlay plywood. Was it for the look? Does it affect the sound board movement at all or just is so thin that it’s just looks cool. Nice work!

Thanks M3Ukulele... Yes it's just really thin inlay on the upper boat and
doesn't effect the sound much.
