Uke

This is what my Baritone Ukulele got on it months ago. Worms and Eyeballs. Rot and Death, Gummy and Gooey.

  • this is freaky neet .

  • Hi Mort, I just posted a couple of photos of your build in process. Check em out. Wish i could just add them here, but my box has no tool bar.
  • nice   ;-)

     and  my  ears were ringing     ;-)

     

  • I'll show all the details as i make it Mort. Ironwood it is. Say, would you like a squirrel to cut the Sound hole? It would be #2 Squirrelworks if you did. I'll have squirrely do a hole and we'll see how it flys. My #1 came out great. I think you'll like it. This time i'll have him cut the hole to the left of center, so the through body neck won't show so much. The Mike Orr fretboard is a nice long one. You'll have frets up the ... ;^)
  • Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy I'm excited! Yer a good man, man. Hows about Ironwood for the plate. Single Coil. I like yer subtle hint about fish! Well played sir!  (to answer a few questions you asked me a while back that I failed to answer) Yeah, fret it up how ya please... Um... 22 fret was my last CBG before it fell apart. I believe my Uke is 18... so all I really need is an octave fretted... what is that 13? So yeah, I guess whatever you usually do will cover my sonic range desire.

    Man I'm excited to see what yer up to! Ya do great work man.Thanks again!

  • I think i'm building a box. I've got some rustic wood that should make a nice git. This is in keeping with your idea to make one kind of like a Swampwitch. White pine from a big old beam of a grain elevator and some pine side wood that has a nice knot hole for a side sound hole. The shoulder and tail will be cherry for strength. Neck Mahogany. I've got Ironwood, Cherry or Tiger Maple for plates. Do you want single coil or hum bucker? I like Walleyeballs. Or Siscos. Smoked.... I've got a nice Mike Orr fretboard just right for 3 string. I'm cutting out body parts tomorrow morning. ..... Dave
  • Oofta, it's a doozey gettin yer hands on real primo human eyeballs these days!!!! Say, if ya need any boxes for the build lemme know. Also if ya just need some painted lemme know. I do more than just colorful and psychedelic!
  • I thought it was yours from your painting of Robert Johnson. Your work is very bright and luminous. Must be the fishing opener with all those worms. I'll have to bait up with an eyeball. See what happens...
  • Oh and thank ya kindly sir fer the kind words!
  • Yup! Sure is! Buffed the varnish off, taped it clean, spraypaint, acrylics, a touch of house paint and then resealed it. She's my baby!
