Long time lurker here, thought I'd stick my foot in the water since my builds have started getting serious this year. I've been trying to make my builds more professional and cleaner looking (inside and out). So I've been using a lot of poplar, since its dirt cheap, and easy to work with. After I finished the first build (Pineapple), I was pleasantly surprised with how well it sounds and how loud it is.
So that brings me to my next build, which I want to make is a 8 string harp ukulele. Since this is my first attempt, it'd be really simple, all poplar, mahogany neck, with walnut bridge and fret board. So far I've made the form and got the sides bent.
I'm not sure how consistent these updates will be, especially as the school year comes to an end.
