Nice work Wayne....a unique looking instrument with a lot of "personality".

Thanks Martin.

That is a beauty! I am imagining the feel and the smell as you carved the Huon soundboard. Did you carve the back as well, or is that flat? The patchwork headstock plate also looks cool.

Huon always smells nice. It's a carved back Mark.

What a lil Beauty Wayne, the compendium Head stock is a stand out! Is that a hand made Purfling??

Well Done!

Thanks gaz.
I didn't make the purling I bought it off ebay. I do sometimes make my own but not this time.
Here's a better look at the head stock veneer, just after i made it. Wayne

Cool! A bit like Mya Moe Ukulele head plates,
but your class show's more Aussie spirit

Well played!
