I think the photos I posted a few days ago were taken in such poor light that you might want better clarification so here are a couple with their first coat of grainfilling epoxy. It takes about 40 minutes to mask up and fill the grain...

I don't have words for how beautiful I think those are...
 
Wow! Pete, that is some beautiful wood and craftsmanship. Thanks for posting these pics.
 
Oh wow! That is incredibly beautiful! Makes me want to get another uke...:iwant:
 
!!HOLY....

I could only dream of owning such beautiful wood anytime soon! :)
 
That really is some fine looking wood, I almost missed the back side of the neck hanging behind it with one of the most elegant volutes I've seen. Did you ever do a video on how you shape them?
