yeah, I'm building my cigar box uke, right, got the soundboard glued on, which is a three piece, some bookmatched spruce, and some red oak to go in between it. I've got the bridge plate and the two braces glued on last night, I was just taking off the weights used to clamp them in place. I take one feel of the soundboard and realize that the thing is out of shape, it's bowed, unevenly, and obviously, inward, making the contact between the braces and the soundboard kinda crappy. the area surrounding the bridge plate is flat, but the area around the braces is bowed. this is my second cigar box uke, but my first solid-wood soundboard, is there anything I can do to save this, without taking it off and scrapping it????
