This instrument started a year ago when we visited luthier Dave Sigman in Hawaii. He sent us off with a set of ‘Ulu, which is also known as breadfruit. You know how much I like using woods that are the by product of feeding people, so I’ve been looking forward to this ever since. It works and looks like old Mahogany, but with a lighter color. It also sounds like Mahogany, but maybe a little more mellow. I made the neck out of Mahogany scraps and the fretboard/headplate/bridge from some Dogwood, both from the Carpenter Ant stash in Portland. We’ve made a donation to Hawaii Foodbank as a part of this sale.
