Is this curly koa? I love the color. I know that its koa, but I've never seen that rippling pattern on the bottom of the uke only?

Mahalo!

You are correct! Kamaka HF3. Can't wait for it to arrive!

This place is awesome. You joined just this month, made 4 posts and you have a Kamaka with curly koa on the way. I do not feel bad about my growing flock in the least now. Another in transit, custom concert in the works and waiting to hear if my offer was accepted on a Koaloha tenor.

Enough tongue in cheek, congrats on the Kamaka with the beautiful backside and welcome to UU.
 
Ohhhh that is a real beauty!!! Congratulations
 
Yep. It's either crotch curl or compression curl. My guess is the latter.

What a great name (the first of the two you mentioned)! There should be an up charge for wood that allows one to make that claim about the wood his or her ukulele is made from. :)

Beautiful Uke, I enjoy seeing all of this nice wood art.
