I'm posting this on behalf of Len (who asked me to do it for him).

#88, 2020 Tenor
Sound Sample
Back/sides- Grafted Walnut (English/Black)
Top- Carpathian spruce
Neck- Figured maple
Everything else- Brazilian rosewood.
Headstock Inlay- Recon stone + MOP, all engraved.
Tuners- Rodgers w black MOP buttons.

Note- English walnuts are commonly grown in western states, where they are typically grafted onto the roots of the native California black walnut (Juglans hindsii), which is hardy in USDA zones 7 through 9. This practice imbues disease resistance to the trees and makes them better-adapted to native soils.

Wowsers! :drool: :shaka:
 
Beautiful!

That cutaway on the fretboard looks like the ones often seen on open back banjos. Is that to facilitate clawhammer playing?
 
That's quite the work of art. Well done.
 
I'll never own a uke like that so thank you guys for letting me live vicariously through you. :)

Superlatives fail me. What an amazing looking instrument. Wonderful craftsmanship.

Maybe "stunning" says it best.

Thanks for sharing these images Beau & Len. A real treat.
 
That is really a beauty to behold. Not sure who the new owner is, but I hope he'll treat us to a sound sample ~
 
Absolutely stunning. It takes my breath away to see such artistry. Well done.
 
Holy cow!! It's stunning!
When I hit the lotto...

Thank you for a smile after two days of doing nothing but COVID stuff
