Besides, there's plenty of WBW binding out there to go with it!

Ken, I ran a pic of your last uke thru the Rosette Reverserizer 5000, from Stewmac. Looks good to me. Does make the rosette appear to be slightly larger as a result of the white being the outer rings.

Is there a prior discussion on how you built these? Very cool!

I thought of that but then I realised it wouldn't work. I also had the idea of sending them to Australia but I don't think that will work either.
It's a difficult problem.

Easy fix: use different-colored soundboard wood.
