Rescued Myrtle Wood Gets a Second Life as Ukuleles

Two New Ukuleles | Built from Rescued Oregon Myrtle 🌲🎶 | Shasta Ukulele Company

In this video, we’re excited to share the start of two brand-new ukuleles being built at Shasta Ukulele Company, crafted from rescued Oregon Myrtle wood.

Oregon Myrtle is a rare and beautiful tonewood, known for its striking grain, warm resonance, and rich character. The wood used in these instruments was rescued and responsibly reclaimed, giving it a second life as finely crafted ukuleles rather than going to waste.

Follow along as we begin shaping these instruments—from selecting the Myrtle sets to the early stages of the build. Every ukulele we make is built by hand, with a focus on tone, sustainability, and playability.
