I think you can still get Gabon Ebony easily…Read more

Your work is truly outstanding, beautiful in fact, I’m not a Ukulele player but I can appreciate high quality craftsmanship when I see it!!

I’ve only seen African ebony on old household ornaments – and they were pretty heavy items I recall. I reckon the iron acetate approach could being a bit experimental in that no two pieces of wood will turn out…Read more

It does make you wonder at the logic behind some laws around the world regarding pellet guns. The LDC issues faced by shooters in some Countries is unfortunate, maybe it should be compulsory for law makers to regularly attend shooting ranges without hearing protection…

Wouldn’t put me off buying as I assume this would come under warranty anyway.

I prefer the PLB for looks but it seems there’s a weight price to pay so I am considering taking the WB stock and reworking it so it (hopefully) ends up…Read more
