Kevin, who was one of the Cairns Uke Build Class of 2012 works for James Cook Uni, and just so happens to have access to some electron microscopes. After the class he took some samples of all the components we used in building this years instrument so he could have a really good look at them.
He tells me that a microscope was rebuilt and needed to be tested out, so now was a perfect time to look at the samples. I find them to be totally amazing.
Brazilian Mahogany - Body and Neck
Western Red Cedar - Sound Board
Coastal Banksia - Peg Head Overlay
Cooktown Ironwood - Fret Board and Bridge
Bone - Nut and Saddle
