It's Done!!

Ari's Bonsai Uke

Kevin's Uke is almost finished. Literally - working on the hand-applied finish. :)

This Uke has Koa back and sides, Spruce top and a maple neck. Paua abalone inlay of his name on the fretboard. In a photo it's hard to do justice to the shimmering wood showing through the finish.

... and Koa back and sides. Finished in shellac, and strung with Aquila Nylgut strings.

The inlay of her name was done freehand and no, I don't recommend it! LOL.

Enjoy it Kahea!

Will have more pictures of Ari's bonsai uke soon!

New - little Ari is getting a little Uke! He loves the sound of his mom strumming her violin for him, so a bonsai ukulele will allow him to strum his own instrument without endangering mom's 1751 J.B Guadagnini! LOL. I'll put pictures up...and thanks Haylie, for such a great project! :)

Possibilities for Ari's bonsai Uke. The Koa (left) isn't very dramatic but has a nice low tap tone. Sides for the set on the right might be tricky to bend.

First time doing an inlay like this! It still needs a bit of finishing but not bad. :) The ebony is streaked with a chocolate brown, so now the question is whether to dye it or not. Normally I love the look of wood as it is.

Coming up for TG...
