I put a build thread up about this a while ago. David finished it up before the holidays, but due to the potential for holiday postal backup and my holiday travel plans we decided to have him wait to ship it until after the turn of the year.
Well, it arrived at the office today and it really is a lovely and very unique instrument. Simply lovely work. Just take a look at that curly Koa faceplate!

- Favilla teardrop inspired body
- Solid mahogany top, back, sides, and neck
- 3-pointed crown headstock with curly, spalted koa faceplate
- colored with reddish-brownish aniline dye and hand rubbed TruOil finish
- 15 frets, 1.5" nut, 14" scale
- Peghead tuners
- We ended up deciding on a Ohana concert size pinapple case. David had to add a little padding to it, but it works quite well for this uke.
I'll try to post a sound sample when I'm able to, but it might be a few days before I can get around to it.
Looking forward to giving it a play.
