Redwood / Maple Tenor Ukulele

Tonewoods

• Redwood soundboard

• Curly Maple back and sides

• Canarywood binding

• Mahogany neck

• Abalone rosette

• Ebony fretboard with dolphin inlay

• Slotted headstock with Curly Rosewood front and Canarywood back

• Rosewood bridge

• Bone nut and saddle

• Rubner tuners

• Royal-Lac shellac based finish

​

When I used CA glue around the binding, I found that redwood may require more than one coat of shellac to seal before applying the glue. The redwood easily wicks the glue and darkens. My wife suggested that I apply a sunburst finish which helped camouflage the feature.
