Not bookmatched, just MATCHed!

That is seriously cool. I kind of want one of those now.
 
Wow. That is insane. In the good sense, of course.
 
This one-of-a- kind 1984 ukulele was made entirely from used wooden matchsticks...10,000 of them painstakingly glued together with 2 lbs of hide glue.
Two pounds is what some ukes weigh - and this is just the glue. Must be a hefty little blighter.
 
I seen that some time ago, and it does show pretty high on the "coolometer". But, I would like to hear a sound bite of it.. Curious what that would sound like..
 
I just caught a segment on Ripley's Believe It Or Not about these creations a few days ago. Had Glen Campbell on too, playing the matchstick guitar.
These are spectacular!

I think we can guarantee that these won't be mass-produced anytime soon.
