Julie's Ukulele

This is one of my first instruments too. I built it for my girlfriend with woods from her birthplace. The olive wood comes from a tree that died from an extreme winter in the 50s and the French Walnut is from an extremely old reclaimed bed piece (you can actually see the wormholes that I kept on purpose at the headstock, all part of the life of this wood). This ukulele has a lovely "chimy" tone with the full olive wood construction and dense wood of the neck.

Back and sides: One piece local Olive wood
Top: One piece from the same local Olive wood
Neck: French Walnut neck and fingerboard
Bindings: Peruvian Walnut bindings with walnut and white purflings. Purflex rosette and end graft
