I have begun making a Treble Viol under the instruction of Renate Fink.
L. W. Futcher Musical Instruments
I am a hobby builder making ukuleles in my shed, almost entirely with hand tools. I aim to use sustainably sourced timber for all my instruments, focusing on the use of indigenous British woods.

Uke building has slowed a bit lately...
Things have been a little slow on the uke building front as of late. At the begining of this year I started working as a self employed upholsterer, which has taken up most of my space and time in the workshop. I do hope to get some new ukuleles underway again soon. In the meantime why not have a look at my upholstery work?

Cigar Box Soprano
This cigar box was completed before the Dodge Brothers uke, but I've only just got some decent photos.
Cedar top, nice bright, springy sound.
