This is instrument is a close copy of the ukulele I took to the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii meeting a couple of year ago. I wanted to bring something from only local woods to stand out a bit, which was fun. This customer liked the look and sound of that one, but we chose a 1.5” nut width to fit their hand better. The top is Western Red Cedar that I got from the burn pile at The Dee Mill. It was a fence line tree on an orchard in Parkdale, OR and I have never seen a cedar tree with grain like this one. The back, sides, fretboard, headplate and bridge are some curly Walnut that came from an estate sale in The Dalles, OR. I think it is loud, but well balanced, with nice sustain. Thanks Medford!

“Hello Aaron and Nicole,
I am loving #1006. I am so glad that we chose that design with those beautiful woods. I am having a hard time putting it down to perform life’s basic necessities such as eating, sleeping, brushing my teeth, etc. It sounds so sweet all the way up the neck and is such a joy to play.
Now back to practicing so that my playing will one day honor this beautiful instrument.
Thank you so much
- M. C.
