Thanks for all of the positive feedback! Yes, top, back, sides and rosette are from Hana Lima. Ebony parts are from LMI and neck wood is some sapele I had left over from a furniture job. Peghead inlay material from Stew-Mac. Finished in Seagrave nitro lacquer over vinyl sealer. Grain filled with West Systems epoxy, two coats. I have been keeping a blog of the build, which I haven't finished uploading pictures to, but is probably of interest to some of you. http://malevolentmusings.blogspot.com/

Is it weird that I want to know how it tastes? I want to lick it, and hear how it sounds too....not while I lick it.

Is this uke for sale?

It was for sale, but has already been spoken for unfortunately. I also live in Culver City, so maybe we could work something out on a future build. PM me and we can talk about it and play some ukulele while we are at it....

That uke is da bomb. Clean lines, elegant heel, pretty headstock. Well done! What's next?

I promised I would make my son a concert in curly koa for his birthday. Got a really nice set of AAA koa from Steve @ Hawaiian Hardwoods and am midway through that one right now. He will be 14 in about a month, so I need to get crackin'. He has been playing the ukulele for about 2 1/2 years, he has been to the local ukulele festival the past two years in a row with me and we jam together all the time. He was interested in the bass guitar for a while, but the uke has taken over.
