Made for a Ducks Unlimited auction at an upcoming banquet. My daughter's husband is President of the local chapter. I'm not much of a hunter but I know D.U. does a lot lot of work conserving wetlands and ensuring habitat for water fowl.

Thanks Thomas, the round body is actually a tin storage can of some kind with a wood grain finish on it. I used walnut for the neck because it matched the tin's finish and because gunstocks are usually made of walnut. I figured this might appeal to the duck hunters who'll be bidding on it.

Well, I know exactly nothing about duck hunting, but I know a good looking ukulele when I see one.
Oh that is nice Jim, the guys at D.U. will be happy with that as will the lucky bidder! I'm a duck hunter and it appeals to me :-)
Nicely done. Definitely a build to be proud of.

Nice looking uke. What kind of wood did you use for the body?
