Aloha,
I'm currently working with Char at Mya-Moe on a myrtle baritone ukulele, and we're at the stage of selecting the wood sets. Here are the myrtle wood sets I'm currently considering:
1.
2a. ................................................ 2b.
2a and 2b are the same pieces of wood, configured slightly differently -- The two grain markings that look like eyes in 2a are closer together and closer to the bottom in 2b, and the darker vertical stripe in the middle of 2a would be eliminated in 2b.
So, two questions:
1. Do you prefer 2a or 2b, and why?
2. Which of the three (1, 2a, or 2b) do you think would look best as the soundboard? By the way, the set that isn't used as the soundboard would be used as the back of the ukulele.
I know that the decision ultimately comes down to my own aesthetic preferences, but I'm really curious to hear your opinions. Mahalo for taking the time!
