Beautiful!

It's ukuleles like this that force me to come to grips with the fact that my UAS is insatiable. That's a beautiful instrument.

Is anyone else amused that the bear in the Black Bear logo on the headstock is white?

I did laugh when I saw the white bear. This is really a beautiful instrument!

Another beauty, Duane. I like the bridge design. Your koa pineapple just gets better and better, btw, so thanks for that.

That is one gorgeous uke!

I'm trying hard to keep it under control too....

I have been waiting for a koa Black Bear pineapple to surface, but this thing looks amazing. Might have to post something in the market place to help fund it. Hope it lasts that long.

Macadamia wood? If it plays half as good as the nuts taste, then this is a winner.

Especially if dipped in chocolate. Call it the Hawai'ian Host Uke.

I have a bunch of this wood and I was curious as to how it would work for sound and It is indeed a very mellow sweet sounding uke. It has incredible color and figure to it also. I will be making more ukes with it and right now I have a soprano harp uke with a spruce /macadamia combination in the works. Thanks for the comments.

January bump! I will have a concert macadamia wood uke coming soon.

Beautiful...Very tempting because I always wanted a Pineapple...

Speaking of third legs, I get a woody when I see photos of a lovely ukulele like this Black Bear. It's a fine instrument. Thanks for sharing the photos.

This uke has been SOLD. Thanks!
