Ambrosia from the woodpile and back to the woodpile with a dumpster desk

Here it is in all its gory... Started out as a stick of wood on this same wood pile. Ambrosia maple back and sides, poplar neck with rainbow poplar skunk stripe, rainbow poplar headstock veneer and binding, peace-dove inlay, honduras rosewood fretboard, bridge and bridge patch, engelmann spruce braces, mahogay hell block, three piece laminated poplar tail block, poplar linings, black and brown corian nut and saddle, Grover Jr.s. And a desk made from crap pulled out of dumpsters and alleys, total cost about ten bucks. Keeping my eye out for a couple more pallets to finish the drawers and a stool with casters.

Video.. first take, painful to listen to but not the uke's fault. Best sounding uke I've made so far, was thinking this and the wife said the same thing before I could say it. If I didn't need the money I'd probably keep this one.

Beautiful piece of work Vic.

Thanks so much Sweetwater! I'm about to bust out on some custom stuff...

Nice looking ukulele. Amazing what you can do with a pallet.

That's a beauty Vic. Very nicely done.
