Been a while since I posted anything....
Here's my latest ukulele. Martin Concert size in all mahogany. Spanish cedar neck, Ziricote fingerboard, tortoise shell binding, french polish shellac finish.
Nothing fancy, just a nice mahogany uke and it sounds really sweet with fluorocarbon strings. This was some of my 2012 Hibdon black friday wood....I love building these ukuleles for under $5 (hardware and bindings not included).
Sorry for the crappy photos. Its already wrapped and sent out for Christmas.

Quine vy nice indeed, the FP goes vy well with the overall look. One observation on my part. You can get a little more volume by cutting down the weight on the bridge by using a black walnut with 3mm wings. instead of the ebony. Ebony looks nicer ,esp w/mahogany. But I think you will get a nicer punchier sounding uke with walnut.. I especially luv the walnut I got from a historic 200 yr old house in st louis , it/s lighter and denser than the local stuff.my 2 cents. worth.
