Busy shop

 Been getting a few things done, a new cutaway guitar design inspired by the gypsy guitar thing, it will have a tailpiece and asymetrical heel, a new Myrtlewood Ukulele design/shape, a couple other  Koa/Chena Ukes and possibly a Resophonic roundneck......?





                                                 
New Uke design, with a little more air, no model name yet.....!


The Chena Uke below




  Possible roundneck Resophonic looking something like this, sides are bent.....

    I'd like to mention that on my finishes
I use Target Coatings / Waterbor Lacquer
and sometimes I finish the necks with a hand rubbed penetrating oil, for that natural feel......


Still remaining GP
