Larry goes pretty simple on his string trees, and they just work.
Show us your ukes!

What is string tree?
Something that is used to better align the strings with the slots in the nut when the tuners posts aren't directly in line with the slots.
In this case, a simple eye bolt that the C and E strings run through.

I like the placement of the tuners and the cut outs in the headstock are atheistically pleasing

Who is the luthier on that? Headstock is very familiar, I have seen similar headstocks here before and I think they’re all the same guy?

Kinnard? There was one featured on a recent TUS podcast that had a similar headstock.

*points to nose!
John Kinnard calls it his Z-stock. I thought this more mysterious one with no official signature was pretty cool. Shows that the Z speaks for itself!

Wish I could say that. December is still another week away, and I’m already tired of winter...

You are living life right!I flew to Australia for holidays and bought a uke here just for camping and beaches
I got Millar TK-260W (tenor) shipped from England to me in the US a couple weeks ago. It uses cypress for the front and rosewood for the back, sides, bridge, and fretboard.
Tried to make these photos as sexy as my horrible lighting and shaking smartphone would allow.

 | Looks like a guitar if you squint enough. |
 | The view when playing, or something close to it. |
 | The curly maple trim is hard to photograph unless the brightness is turned way down. Ripples very nicely in person. |
 | You can see some flaws/gaps in the rope binding in one of the lighter color woods in the bottom of the next picture. |
 | Slotted headstocks with open-geared tuners can't be beat, at least to my eye. And excuse my laziness in not trimming the strings. I did install them only a week and a half ago. |
 | Great looking rosewood on the back and sides. |
