It's an Ovation uke. The ebayer ukulele4u has some with a solid koa top I do believe.
Here is my contribution. My Lanikai LFM-C. Solid spruce top with laminated flamed maple back and sides. The guy I got it from (ukulele4u on ebay) calls this particular model a "Blonde" as he names all of his ukes after desserts. (I was contemplating buying a solid mahogany "Fudge brownie," but the Blonde sounded much brighter and had more presence.)
Ignore the carpet in the pics... I know I know I need to vacuum... lol, but before I can I have to track the bloody thing down.

Here's my brand new mango Kala tenor (fresh from MGM). My other daily-use uke is the Surf Fluke in my avatar. I've only had the uke for a couple of days and I already want a new one (damn UAS)!
Plainsong - I know what you mean about putting yourself up for judgment in a public forum. I get a lot of nasty hateful comments on YouTube. I really would love to hear you sing, though. Perhaps you can just post an mp3 somewhere, or keep your video confined to Photobucket?
Also, it doesn't seem like you need any help, but I've posted the chords to my version of "What a Wonderful World" on my video. Perhaps I'll post them here too. It would be interesting to see how close we are in our interpretations.
Kekani - Ay caramba, those are some pretty ukes. Did you build them? O.O That 10 string is gorgeous. What does she sound like?
Thanks for posting those larger pictures, especially the detail on the headstock inlay. Gorgeous.
I only have ones of these ukes left, the Risa concert stick. I found the soprano Koaloha too small really, and the tenor Fluke is great, I just wanted something more solid wood. Once MGM catches up with his orders from when he was in NYC, I should be getting the Pono shipped out soonishly.
In the meantime:
The Koaloha hanging out with two Bathys watches also from Hawaii
The Risa concert stick and Honeytone amp, still somehow smaller than the smaller-necked Koaloha:
Messy pic of the Risa uke-solid and Roland Microcube:
And the tenor surf Fluke before I put Aquilas on:
Sit tight everyone! My uke p*** is coming as soon as I can find my freakin camera. How do I transfer pics from my Razr onto the computer?
