It's less commonly used in ukes (more exclusivity), has a distinctive spicy smell (I guess that could be a plus or a minus, depending on how you like the smell. I happen to like it), and I believe it has better strength-to-weight ratio than mahogany. I guess if you don't build in the Spanish method, much of the spanish cedar smell will be sealed off, so that's probably not much of a consideration.<br /><br />Anyway, sounds like you've got a couple of cool ukes in the works. Must be fun!GX9901https://www.blogger.com/profile/09149697275386260311noreply@blogger.com
