I'm starting to plan my uke build while I finish school. (It's good that other obligations are slowing me down so I don't take this too fast and screw something up.)
Right now my plan is to do some pyrography (wood burning) then finish with Tru-oil. The kit is unfinished wood, so shouldn't be a problem there. One of my other hobbies is mountain biking, so I'm going with that theme. Instead of a rosette, I'm going to wood burn a chain ring. The head will get a back diamond (same meaning as in skiing) and a mountain range. See below for mock-ups I threw together in software.
I think I want something on the back as well, since it's such a large blank canvas. But I'm stuck for ideas. Anyone feeling creative that wants to suggest some ideas? Maybe something clean and simple like a bike chain running right down the center of the back?
