Oregon would like to claim to this as Oregon Myrtle Wood..
California Bay Laurel is its proper name.

Depends which side of the state line you are on. I’m in Oregon, so…😂 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbellularia

@@beansproutmusicalinstruments umbellularia californica... NOT.... umbellularia oregonia which is non existent.
I lived in California Bay Laurel country for 40 plus years. I now live (25 years) in Oregon in California Bay Laurel country.
You make fine ukes, to include the California Bay Laurel models : )
PS I was a wood hustler for many years supplying instrument makers with high quality species such as pernambuco,
coco bolo, various rosewoods , western big leaf maple, and got Craig Carter (RIP) started in his redwood venture.
