Progress on the body finish @tej It’s looking superb. One thing I would advise though is that you mask up the neck pocket at least, it doesn’t matter too much about the pickup cavities. 👍

Love the way it feels! @clinton That is amazing, it sounds great and I love the way it looks. Fantastic work, as usual. I always look to you for inspiration and I need to get my box guitar finished. ...

Woah @clinton! That neck wood looks incredible!

Nothing makes me happier than a newly built Tenor Ukulele. Better yet, made out of Koa and Wenge. Cannot wait to hear the sound of this thing with the hole in the wood. @clinton Yes! That looks so go...

Posted by: @ Turned out fine in the end, thanks! 🙂

Hello there @stephen, sounds like you’ve already gotten great advice and encouragement. This is a super cool place to be, welcome!

@tej Only concern now is that the bridge is a very tight fit in the mount holes, I hadn't masked off the bridge post holes when I lacquer my current build, so the holes have shrunk with all the lacq...

@tej Hey man, I’ve somehow missed all of this, just caught up now. It’s all looking superb and you just have to work through the mistakes, it’s part of the job. I’m looking forward to seeing the finis...

Just got think link from a friend who is an industrial chemist

Thanks Mark for the advice, I will give this a go tomorrow!

There is plenty of room for error at this stage so it's probably just fine... Here is what to do: Ignore it...for now... Carve the 3rd facet and continue as normal... When you get to the 'Add more fac...

Hey guys, I’m in the middle of carving my first neck and have hit a (hopefully minor) snag. As you can see from the pics I’ve rough carved the side facets - one larger facet, and one smaller section t...

My local wood miller is going out of business. My main source of local Koa. Bummer. All good. As a gesture of his appreciation from all the ukuleles and guitars I built from his stacks, he gave me a s...
