The Complete Ukulele Guide to the Moustaches of the World

3559680651_10abed3b20_o.jpg

This Complete Guide features complete coverage of the 25 major moustache groups, enabling you to instantly identify any moustache you spot without even putting down your ukulele. 

The Ukulele Guide includes not only the standard moustache groups, but also exotic and endangered moustaches like the Shirley Temple and the LARP-stache. Recently cultivated strains of moustache such as the Octopus also feature prominently, and the headstock is graced with an inspiring moustache quote, sure to please any moustache fancier.

You may be asking yourself at this point you have survived without such a practical object, and what you can do to obtain one. While the ukulele depicted here has been SOLD to a most worthy buyer, we may consider the creation of a few additional, supplemental moustache guides for true fanciers of fantastic facial hair.

Orb Weaver Inlay

orbweaver.jpg

This spider and its web are inlaid in a piece of desert ironwood (Olneya tesota), one of the world's hardest and most dense woods. The slow-growing ironwood is very difficult to work with but makes for a beautiful iridescent polished surface.

The spider is made from maple and oak veneer; the web is shimmery silicon carbide in resin.

Violin Tailpieces with Decorative Inlay

tailpieces.jpg

A few examples of our inlay work, these tailpieces add a subtle touch of color to the instruments they decorate. Working from one of our original drawings, we precisely cut tiny pieces of veneer and painstakingly inlay them by hand. The result is carefully sanded and polished to bring out the natural glow of the wood.
