This is my latest ukulele. I call it "The Port Orford 4" It is a 4 string tenor. The soundboard is Port Orford Cedar. It is a beautiful color with a slight vertical grain pattern. The fretboard and bridge are Rosewood, the neck is Spanish Cedar the peghead is Walnut. The rosette is Paua shell.
You can see the grain pattern in the Cedar in this shot
In this view of the peghead you can see the Gotoh sealed tuning machines
This book matched California (Claro) Walnut really turned out nice. I love working with this wood. It cuts, bends and sands like a dream.
In this 3/4 view you can see the beautiful grain pattern in the California Walnut sides. If you click on these images they will enlarge
The Paua shell rosette turned out pretty nice
Thanks for looking!
