Several months ago, I mentioned I was interested in building a yew-kulele, but couldn't find any yew. Pete Howlett said he'd send me some, and he did. I received it just today. I was blown away to find the sides already bent, neck and tail blocks shaped and glued in place, and all in a single layer form no less. The top was cut to shape and had the sound hole, too.
He even threw in some of his triangular kerfed lining, though it didn't survive the trip as well as the rest of the kit!
Just minutes after I opened the box and took the above photo, my wife came home. I was gushing to her about Pete's generosity when I turned the top over to find a rosette already in place. As I said to Pete in a PM I sent earlier this evening, I nearly wept.
Thanks Pete--you're generous to a fault.
Need any padauk?
