This is an “all redwood” ukulele (at least in looks). I got some pretty cool redwood burl and laminated it over Pennsylvania black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) which I have heard from several people in the know is one of the best local tonewoods. I have heard it called the “rosewood of the east”. This is paired with a curly redwood top, koa headplate, black-red-black purfling, casuarina fingerboard with a 10″ radius and man-made opal dots, koa binding, poplar neck and asymmetric rosette in pink abalone pearl. A great sounding instrument that is also a real looker.
