I've been thinking that shellacking and finishing out the inside of the ukulele body is a good idea. Many of the high end luthiers on this forum do it so what the hell. I think this might be good idea for three reasons: 1) It provides extra protection against humidity changes in the environment in the back and sides, 2), it might give some extra acoustic volume and projection (maybe) and 3), it just looks better if you look inside the sound hole which nobody ever really does other than us builders and luthiers.
Below are some pictures of my shellacked finished insides. Next time I actually might sand. Such a concept. Also included are pictures of my "ridiculously over engineered neck block" (to quote Pete) which I'm starting to think might be a waste of effort.
