In my previous thread on uke wall hangers (http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/f...plywood-hanger-–-my-first-woodworking-project) I posted photos of my hand-made plywoods hangers. Since then I received the third uke – Luna Maluhia Concert – and made another set of hangers out of oak parquetry blocks.
I have a nice corner in my room which as if intended for the ukes. All three fit there perfectly. The most playable concert-size uke is hung lower than others so that I could get it asap.
The ideas for hangers I got from the internet. Of course, I was going to make something in Hawaiian-tropical theme. A palm-tree, a dolphin, a hula-girl, a fish were among images that would look amazing as a hangers. But I found very interesting hand-carved hangers on eBay and decided to copy two of them: a pineapple and a turtle (I hope an eBay seller won't be angry at me if he see this thread)))). A Hawaiian fish hook was another great idea for a hanger but after some considerations I rejected it because being a vegetarian I wouldn't be happy to see every day in my room a tool for killing living creatures. Then I thought : 'What if just to carve a famous word 'Aloha' and replace a letter 'o' with traditional Hawaiian flower hibiscus?' After that I did a little research in the Internet and got patterns I liked.
That's in general a little story of my wall hangers.
