Three more of PalaPala

Chain Of Craters Road

I took a drive down Chain Of Craters Road with my 532/16 Super Ikonta. On the way back up I stopped and got this shot. This is Fuji Superia 100. I like it.

Barbara's new ukulele

Well we finally got Palapala finished. I gave it to her Christmas morning after having it for a couple of day and tuning it often to take the stretch out of the strings. Well, she was very pleased. It is very beautiful and because I have been around it so long I forget just what a impact the beauty of the instrument makes on you at first view. And it sounds wonderful. Pat has the action so close that Barbara can play it very easily. When you strum an open cord hard the instrument has a very noticeable reverberation. I think it is the spruce top that makes that beautiful effect happen. She has been playing it since she got it and she plays it very well. Pat and I are tickled. This picture of her was taken hours ago. Kate really helped me with it. Barbara hasn't seen it yet, I hope she likes it. It will be the final picture in the ibook that I am making on the building of Palapala.
