A Movingui tenor ukulele
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 7:00 pm
This is a ukulele I finished a few months ago. I just got lazy about posting pictures on the forum, until now.
Back and sides - Movingui ("African Satinwood").
Back - and end-stripe - Queensland Rose Mahogany.
Soundboard - Queensland Rose Mahogany.
Bindings - Quilted Maple (Acer spp.)
Head-plate - Blackwood.
Bridge - Satin Box, Blackwood.
Neck - Honduran Mahogany (grown in Fiji)
Fingerboard / rosette - Satin Box.
Fret markers - Snakewood.
Purfling - Bits and pieces of coloured veneer.
In retrospect, I think I should / could have been a bit more creative about the placement and geometries of the sound-hole and "rosette" (which is in this case a solid extension of the fingerboard) and angles and curves to do with the bridge; Maybe next time!
