Graham,

Very noiceeeeeeeeeeeeee, gr8 appointment of wood(s) & the finish - spectacular.
Also, love the bridge, something different.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for that, I should take some better pictures, these are all a bit out of focus.
I've been using an iPhone which takes great photos in strong light, but these we're taken just on sunset. So I'll re-do them tomorrow.
Cheers

I could only dream of making an instrument that nice, it looks awesome. That bridge design is really clever, I remember it from your Albizia guitar, which is one of my favourite guitars ever posted on the forum.

Cheers

What a stunning uke! Love that black heart sassafras.
