Peony: Concert Ukulele
Dave’s Take: This one I made as a surprise for my wife, but it was the second attempt. The first one was made of leopard wood, which she picked out without either of us realizing that I am allergic to leopard wood dust. One hazmat suit and 6,000 mg of Benadryl later, I started over and made one with inlay of her favorite flower instead.
