Hey All....

Been a while since I posted anything new. Here's my latest ukulele. Concert size Martin copy in all mahogany, tortoise binding, Stewmac bridge, abalone inlay, bwb and red purflings. This one is for a friend of mine in Shanghai. I now have customers on two continents!! Guess I'm an international sensation laughing6-hehe
The cheap part is due to the Hibdon Hardwoods sale after Thanksgiving. All the wood for the body, neck and fingerboard only cost about $1.50!! bliss bliss bliss Now if they would just sell tuners, binding and inlay as cheap
Maybe not the prettiest mahogany ever, but it sure sounds great. Loud and sweet with a more mellow tone than my koa ukes. Its gonna be hard to let this one go.

Very elegant! I'm glad you tipped me off to Hibdon's Black Friday weekend, I scored wood for an o sized guitar (minus top and binding) for less than $5.
