and a couple more

Thought I'd post the rest of the uke headstocks.

Thanks Jon. The Sea Turtle was the logo for a tenor uke my son and I built for one of his college friends as a graduation present. She, like him, was a Marine Biology major whose passion is for turtles. I think it was well received

Here are a couple of inlays I've worked on for the tenor 'ukuleles I build.

Always such beautiful pictures Arnt.
