OOdles of Ukes!

 This past year or so, I've been building ukuleles.  They're fun, sound neat and give me a way to practice my wood chops on a budget...


My friend Pam asked me to build a soprano uke for her husband Bob.
It's all Koa with 2 little abalone Sea Turtles on the headstock. He liked it so well I made a Banjo-uke, or Banjolele for him as well.

  

This is a Sinker Redwood Tenor with mop around the top and back.  
 Here's the tweed case, ready to go to it's forever home.

Here's a rosewood and sinker redwood "boat paddle" Long-neck tenor.  The longer and wider neck make it more comfy to play for those of us with stubby fingers....
