In this thread http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?48504-Ohana-Koa-vs.-KoAloah comments about KoAloha's finish came up. I have owned 4 KoAlohas and have played every K brand plus multiple high end ukuleles (Boat paddle, MB, Collings, etc) and I feel like the koaloha finish is just as nicely done as these other high end ukuleles. I like the fact that my koalohas have their grains noticed. I have never considered any of them as having a cheap looking finish. If anything, I would think that it would be harder to finish an instrument and leave grain unfilled, yet still get a nice finish. Is this true? What is the fetish with high gloss? I am completely wood finish stupid so I would like to be educated by educated people.
So are the grain holes supposed to be filled? if so why?
