You're just getting too good at these things Allen, reckon we should bring back the ban
Both you've posted are wee rippers & the Ancient Spruce just brings something new and different to the table.

I don't usually like soprano ukes but this one is a real stunner.

Gotta Love Tiger Myrtle , and that executed to perfection , that Ancient Spruce makes it a never to be made again heirloom.
