Re: Tenor Uke in Master Grade Australian Blackwood
Hi Allen,
Stunning!
I love any curly timber, but especially curly blackwood! And you've done justice to that curly blackwood!
Is the bracing blackwood too?
May I ask where you got the timber?
Thanks,
GregL.

Re: Tenor Uke in Master Grade Australian Blackwood
The nut and saddles are called Amber Bone. It's a vegetable dye infused cattle bone. Color goes all the way through and they seem to be much harder than regular bleached bone.
