The wave pattern on headstock and fingerboard is really cool. The uke as a whole is very nice. Is the fingerboard wave actually detached? I have never worked with Bubinga or Banksia. Where is this wood from?

Thanks. The fingerboard extention is separate from fingerboard. Bubinga I believe is an African wood, The Banksia is from Esperance in Western Australia (my home town)

lovely shape on the headstock and echoed wave on the fretboard. :)
