Very nice. I’m taking it you’re a fan of the Aquila Concert strings? I’ve used D’addario fluros on my tenor, and Aquila Lavas on my 8-string tenor. Do you have a favorite?
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Very good looking instruments. Lovely.

I'm always impressed when I see guitar builds. These are no exception.
Handsome looking works of art!
Nicely done!

Always impressive.
Cute little guys! Well done. I'm curious about how you came into possession of Brazilian Rosewood.

I use Aquila strings almost exclusively on my ukulele's. I tried out the new Sugar strings on these because they were brand new and I was intrigued by the fact they mix sugar cane fiber in the Nylgut. But having played them for awhile, I think I'll probably go back to the Aquila Red strings. Big fan of those.

My older brother bought up all the exotic wood from Browning Arms near San Diego when they got out of the (wooden) hunting bow business in the early 70's. Most of the stock was Brazilian Rosewood, Burmese Rosewood, Teak, Mahogany and Zebrawood. He made a bunch of furniture out of the larger stock then, many years later he gave me what he had left. I have enough Brazilian Rosewood left for a few more instruments.

Beautifully done! Does the wood type impact the sound at all?
