Aloha UU,

Check out the back and sides for my new Mike Pereira custom tenor cut from a Walnut Tree in Glen Ellen, CA.

I'm going to call this uke The Big Dog!

Mike gave me other choices of beautiful Walnut back and sides but his one was just amazing!

I think the first song you should play on this uke is "Hound Dog."

Ask Mike, that was my first choice too. But then there are these options:

Baha Men – Who Let The Dogs Out (2000)
Bobby Bland – I Wouldn’t Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me) (1974)
Led Zeppelin – Black Dog (1972)
Lobo – Me And You And A Dog Named Boo (1971)
Cat Stevens – I Love My Dog (1966)
Rufus Thomas – Somebody Stole My Dog (1964)
Baby Jane & The Rockabyes – How Much Is That Doggie In The Window (1963)
Paul Anka - Puppy Love (1960)

That's awesome!

There's also a pretty girl in there but her head will be gone once it is cut to shape

Aloha Fisherman,

Everyone sees something different in an artist's work. Thanks again for inspiring this order with your own Pereira Walnut/Redwood tenor ukulele. And kudos to Ken Middleton for his wonderful Youtube video of this Pereira wood combination:
