Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

[screened porch]

I’m dedicating this pic to Scrteened Porch

I'm honored.
Here's a uke that's too good for me (its tough luck). If it goes back to Gramma and Grampa's bright young thing days, and considering that their fourth child was born in 1919, it's about as old as a Martin uke can get. Assuming I'm correct that Martin started making ukes in 1916.

Having a holiday on Monday got me distracted for wooden Wednesday and I’m carrying a bone Case Jack. so here are some old pics of one of the last Opinel I carved.
hope you enjoy it, it was specially made for my wife who had a leather bag’s business at the time:

That's great work.
Snakewood and Chinese burl:

African Blackwood - in the flesh, some nice striped variation in the wood, sometimes it can be too one-colour.

Willie Paulsen - retired maker, SA.

These are the wooden friction pegs I replaced on that old Martin uke. Looks like the dark one was already a replacement, like it was made for a violin.
