Australian Blackwood Tenor with Custom Inlay - Picture Set

[BR Ukuleles]

I was asked if it was possible to include a Bauhinia flower with buds and seed pod to the peg head of this tenor. Probably the most intricate inlay I've done. Some of the components of it are as small as a pin head. Made up of Koa, Australian Blackwood, dyed Maple and Faux Ivory. Scrimshaw shading and color to add depth.

The body is Curly Australian Blackwood. Bindings are sap wood from same billet. Gold MOP rosette and fret markers. Ebony fret board, bridge and peg head overlays.

I'm really liking that particular inlay piece Allen. It really works. Tasteful. Elegant. Classy.

I like how the grain runs vertical or horizontal depending on how you look at it

Very nice inlay project. Does it use CNC or laser, or is it just handwork? Can't tell anymore. Whichever, it is a nice design.-Bob

Combination of both Bob. Plus all the scrimshaw hand shading.
