Uke No 1  

Nice vintage box

Sapele neck wenge fingerboard

Aluminium and wenge markers. 

Uke no 2

This one sounded great but suffered from body muffle really bad probably as it was quite thin.  so I added a plate on the back to suspend it from the body. 

Clever nicely done for sure!

Made from pieces of thin Sapele. I mangaed to bend them slightly by soaking them and using a heat gun then put together like a box. 

That's cool.

Very inspirational. I gotta try bending wood sometime soon.

Beautiful!

Nice!

And some more:-D

Tenor Uke

A couple of Les Paul style electric Ukes

Pickups where from Almuse 

Concert scale From a my fathers cigar box. This sounded incredible. I highly recomend this box for a Uke

This one is what I call a firewood special.  Basically made from scraps of wood stuck together.

Small tin kettle lid for a resonator and an old red foil lap steel pickup Left handed. 

Made from birch ply and painted. 

love the  kettle lid

Yup crazy guitars and uke's are very appealing.

Antony, the painting on that last one is wicked.

Thanks :-D

Thanks. There's a hole through the wood behind the lid. It worked well.
