Well music in the air this morning and all seven students ukuleles are finished. Some great looking instruments built so congratulations. The highlight was the Black Wattle wood used for back and sides on all instruments. Lovely figure and silk. There where a variety of top woods used from Silver Wattle, Black Wattle, Queensland Walnut and Queensland Silkwood. The Silkwood has lovely warm tone.

Here are a few pictures and thanks for looking. Next course starts soon.

Cheers Alan

Great work, Alan.

Lotsa happy faces in that bunch. They've learned the magic of stringing up your first build(heck, every build) and hearing it sing.....
I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Cheers,
Nick
