Made myself a new bending computer. 2 preset temps (225 for bending, 190 for baking off), just flip the switch toward the one you want to use and that's what controls the blanket! Can't wait to use it!

Making a plumeria sound hole for a new concert ukulele.

Will most likely wind up at the Koawood Ranch store in Kona on Ali'i drive.

Took on a refurbishing job this week. A beautiful old solid koa Kamaka soprano. Everything is koa, even the fretboard which has beautiful years of wear, finger dents and all.

Had to break out the old school hide glue, but once I got the back off completely, I was able to reglue the soundboard. It'll be back to life soon.

More pics when more is done!

Milling up some Ohi'a tenor bridges,. Love that Ohi'a is as hard as rosewood (sometimes harder, and actually stronger), transfers sound really well, but is also a beautiful local wood

When you live in Hawai'i with all the termites around, sawdust cleanup is very important, so today I made it just a little bit easier (and more fun too)

(Yes, I know termites don't actually like sawdust, they want solid wood, but why tempt them with delicious koa and mahogany dust!)

These floor sweeps go for $$$, but this was a leftover from a kit I had gotten years ago.

Well, there she is on my Vac sanding deck, now she just needs a back and we're ready to spray!
