Irish Bouzouki



































































Something different - decided to make a bouzouki. It is my own design, and turned out rather well. Back and sides are bocote, skita spruce top, rosewood bridge and fingerboard, maple neck with padauk stringers, double action truss rod, MOP inlay. Tuning is G-D-A-D

Koa Ukulele













Finished this Koa ukulele for a friend at work. She ordered it for her husband "Herb" so his name is inlaid with abalone on the fingerboard (ebony). It's a tenor uke with 17" scale length.
