Back, sides and top - Quilted Mahogany
Neck - Mahogany
Back, Sides and neck Pore filled with a thick finish grade CA
Finished with a few padded coats of Seal-Lac and untold padded coats of Royal-Lac
Head stock veneer is Amboyna burl and I think the back strap is Bobinga (I just grabbed something from my stash when I sanded too far into the back of the head stock.)
Binds and end graph is ebony.

Thank you! Here is a quick video I made. I can not really play well but you can hear the instrument.

What a magnificent instrument ! I looks alive. Is that a harp ukulele on the wall? Got a soundclip of Both?

Thanks for the kind comments!

You sort of can hear them in my you tube videos. The one posted above. I posted a clip of me trying to play the hard ukulele awhile back. I can not really play the ukulele let alone the harp ukulele.
