Good idea. ThanksDo a tap test and pick the one that gives you a better vibration for the top.
TapTone is a red herring.... try getting a consistent stiffness to mass ratio.Thanks for the input and the education. I chose the top one for the reasons above, especially.
Straighter Grain and nice flex. Currently at 2.2mm
Good Tap Tone (kind of bassy but will brighten when braced)
Looks
Will post more as the build progresses.

Actually, I tend to agree yet you see people refer to it all the time. To me, there are too many variables in such a test although I can hear differences between boards, etcTapTone is a red herring.... try getting a consistent stiffness to mass ratio.
That is going to make a beautiful looking ukulele. I also like the thin, understated ab rosette. It works well with the figure of the wood. I'm guessing the sides are going to be Koa also?Thanks for the input and the education. I chose the top one for the reasons above, especially.
