Hey fellow UU friends,
Has anyone ever heard of a ukulele made out of any of the common arctostaphylos manzanita varieties? I've seen bridges and fretboards made of manzanita, but never a top, back, or sides of a ukulele. It looks like someone has done it for an electric guitar before - There's also a great picture of manzanita in that post.
Here's a post of the types I'd like to find
This site doesn't seem to have info on Manzanita
This site has some info on manzanita
I love manzanita and I would love to find an acoustic ukulele made out of it but I'm wondering if anyone has any other info on the wood, if there is a luthier out there making manzanita ukuleles, or if my journey is hopeless because manzanita is too difficult to work with?
Thank you!
