I'm a musical instrument maker who builds ukulele. I have developed an indigenous uke but need a source of laburnum to make it 100% British. Here is a view of it with a Welsh yew body, Scottish alder neck, burr Englsih elm headplate and, sadly, an Indian rosewood fingerboard. It is the fingerboard which needs upgrading - dimension stock 12" long by 2" wide minimum. I'd prefer to resaw myself - see my video on resawing using a Startrite 301. There are some vids of my workshop practice on youtube which I note is blocked on this forum... why? at http://ukulelecosmos.com I have uploaded loads of vids and no-one has uploaded anything out of order...
Here is the uke: In the background you can see another with the very exotic Hawaiian koa - king of musical instrument making woods!
SO how do you get an image up?
Anyone out there help me out?
Regards
Pete
