 This guitar has great low end and muscular presence...particularly for a small guitar. Very impressive.  To import a YouTube video, simply paste the bold portion of the URL between the YouTube tags. See below... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoCTJwzM7j0

Thank you OMO. It is nice to have the video there I instead of just the link. It was the combo of the sound of this guitar and the beauty of a Hatcher previous koa build I had seen that really sold me on getting the Hatcher.

On a side note.
I started setting up and bending the sides today. Here is a close up of the two sides. The chatoyance is already impressive and this is straight dry wood. Gotta love Koa!
 Here is a picture of the bender. I got both sides bent today. There is so much figure on these that I thin them much more than usual so they bend easily without cracking I then laminate them in a separate mold.  Thanks for viewing! Mark

It is rare that the 3-D quality of chatoyant wood is clearly and unmistakably communicated in a posted pic. It must be absolutely stunning in person. Dang me...

As OddManOut just pointed out and also mentioned in this brief definition from the dreaded wikipedia, it is rare to see this so clearly in a photo, but even more so in dry wood..... "In woodworking: Chatoyancy can also be used to refer to a similar effect in woodworking, where certain finishes will cause the wood grain to achieve a striking three-dimensional appearance; this can also be called pop-the-grain, wood iridescence, moire, vibrancy, shimmer or glow.[4] This effect is often highly sought after, and is sometimes referred to as "wet look", since wetting wood with water often displays the chatoyancy, albeit only until the wood dries. Oil finishes, epoxy, and shellac can strongly bring out the "wet look" effect" To say I am pleased with these sides would be the understatement of the year....Now I can't wait to see their chatoyance actually under finish...Oh my... Lizzard, you will be the first to know, I promise, if my check bounces...

Going to be a beauty, gents. I'm a huge fan of Koa, and that is some pretty wood.

Thanks for the comments folks!
Today I finished constructing a laminating mold for a Piña. I've laid up the first side and plan on closing up the body next week:  Cheers! Mark

wowee
I can picture the tone of this Pina in my ears right now.
Having the honor of owning the first Pina, I know what depth comes humming out of this little axe... ...and coupled with the fact that I also own a 40 year old Kawika built baritone ukulele with a red cedar top and flaming sapwood koa back n sides that exudes immense depth of sound, sustain, and great response unlike most solid koa ukes This Hawaiian boy Hatcher Pina is going set a standard as did Kawika did with his innovative, before his time, deep body baritone "married" with red cedar and koa.
