This will be my third ukulele. Some crazy Koa. If I can bend these sides without breaking them I will consider myself a pretty blessed Grasshopper!

I was told this was Koa but it may be Walnut? Any thoughts?

Does not have the colors I am used to in Hawaiian Koa or any of the Acacia woods. It does look more like walnut to me. Lots of figure still.

Chuck, your wood could very well be some type of Walnut. As far as being Koa, my thoughts are it is not Koa. Scooter
