I thought I had posted this already but I must have dreamed it.
This is a recent-ish commission of a tenor ukulele (or perhaps its really just a really small four stringed nylon guitar). It has a silver quandong SB, blackheart sassafrass B+S, QLD maple silkwood neck, mulga FB, has a K&K Aloha pickup and hard-French polished.
I went slightly bonkers inlaying the bound and waterfall-jointed paua FB & side markers on a radiused FB.
I've also added a couple of sound clips at the end of the post of a good friend and fellow bar fly singing a couple of tunes.
*There is a bit of a fisheye thing going on with a couple of the pics, please be rest assured that I did not make a trapezoidal uke.

Hi, that's a very nice-looking instrument, Trent. I have a few boards of quandong stashed away, I might have to pull it out having seen yours.
