At left is a Fat Triangle tenor uke with an ambrosia maple top, at right a classic bell-shaped concert ukulele with a spalted maple top, both with black walnut fret boards. Necks I usually make of maple, or elm or ash, whatever chunk of stiff hardwood happens to be available at the shop. I can normallt use random offcuts from furniture projects, since ukulele parts are pretty small. All the wood is recycled material from either old Michigan barns or "urban reclaimed" wood. These are gone now, sold, but I'm always open to custom orders if anyone has a hankering. Sometime I think I'll make a tenor Fat Triangle for myself--I like the shape and the sound, plus the size is better for my large hands.
