#987- Curly Mango Alto Ukulele

Sometimes it feels good to keep it simple and let the natural beauty of the wood shine through. In this case, I wanted to feature some curly Mango that I salvaged from a piece of furniture. Mango is a tropical wood that is common as a ukulele wood in Hawaii. It is a good, medium density wood that is suitable for top back and sides. I think it is a little brighter than Koa, with a nice mid-range sound. The neck is some salvaged Mahogany and Walnut. Everything is some local Oregon Walnut that I milled. No binding, inlay or other decoration needed!!
