Newly built ukulele day!
Today was the day, after roughly one month of building, I've completed my first acoustic ukulele ! It's a tenor with these specs:
Western red cedar soundboard
Spalted maple sides and back
Maple neck
Rosewood fretboard and bridge
Peruvian walnut bindings, heel cap and head plate
Groover geared tuners
Low g with Thomastik Infeld and Oasis strings
I'm mighty pleased, you cant get it much more custom than building your own uke !
Here are some photos:
And if you'd like to know more about the build process, there's a looong thread with a build-along here:

PS. The saddle is currently too high up, it needs to be sanded down. But I wanted to give it a spin right away... DS.
