Dave how does the redwood sound as a tonewood? I've never heard it. I would think closer to cedar than spruce.
I LOVE redwood. People have described it as a sonic combination between spruce and cedar. It borders on the warm side as cedar does but has more brightness and sustain like spruce. That I'iwi has tons of sustain and projection but it still very clear and articulate.
I must be an ukehebitionist, I feel like showing mine of too.

From left to right:
Ohana Solid Mahogany long neck soprano
Cort solid tasmanian blackwood concert
Koa Fluke
Anuenue solid african Mahogany tenor
In front: Hora Spruce tenor.
The model numbers are in my signature.
Still not sure I have found the one uke to rule them all.
Played a few notes on each after taking the picture. I dont play my fluke as often as I should, it sounds amazing. But it is not that comfortable to hold.
