Here's one that's recently completed. It's been around the shop for some time only getting worked on between other jobs. It's been built on spec as my stock was getting pretty low and needs replenishing.

As the title says, it's Zircote body with a Sirian top. Neck is Qld. Maple and bindings are Tasmanian Blackwood. Finish is low gloss lacquer over an epoxy pore fill.

Yes, they're all for sale if they haven't already found a home.

Nice uke Allen. Ziricote is a stunning wood.
I just put a Ziricote/Adirondack Spruce ukulele in the spray booth last week.

Here's a sound sample that my friend Bosko did for me after his work at the Kuranda Markets today. A little rough doing it in the underground car park, but the acoustics aren't too bad.

If Bosko's playing can't sell it nothing will. I like it. I strung up a Surian topped, curly Koa B/S uke last week. The sound is really punchy, without being too harsh. I really like it. Yours seems to have similar attributes. Keep up the good work.
