This article is about woods used in the construction of ukuleles. There are numerous kinds of woods used by luthiers currently, too many to list all of them here, but we hope you will have a better understanding after reading this article.

In the next article “Different Woods For Different Sounds”, you can read about tone and volume when certain woods used for backs and sides are combined with traditional woods like Spruce, Cedar, or Koa—which are often used for tops, or soundboards.
