Here is my fifth ukulele:
Walnut back and sides
Lutz spruce top
Spanish cedar neck with carbon fiber reinforcement
Pau rosa fingerboard, bridge, headstock veneer
Curly maple binding, bwb purfling
Abalone rosette and fret markers
Gotoh UPT tuners
Worth brown strings
Finish is Cardinal Nitrocellulose Lacquer
I tried CA for pore filling and Nitro for the finish for the first time on this one, with much assistance from Chuck Moore via the inter web--Thanks Chuck. The sunburst came after a nasty tape-induced spruce fiber tearout on the top as I was masking the fingerboard area for spraying. I sprayed a garnet shellac sunburst to try to camouflage the tear out after filling with CA. I think I was only partially successful there.
Observations, suggestions, comments, critiques are welcome.
Thanks, Nelson
