Ok, so it's more of a "paint and glue together" :lol:
Anyway, I was on Grizzly's site looking for router bits when, for some reason, their uke kit pops up as a "things you might like" link. Well, having been to Hawaii a number of times, and having a couple of beers in me, I was now the proud owner of a $20 uke kit...
For a complete documentary of the build, see my link here: http://www.reranch.com/reranch/viewtopic.php?t=37010&highlight=
When all was said and done, this is what I was left with:
Yep, there are a couple sand-throughs I need to fix, but all in all I'm ok with it. Needs another layer of Tru-oil on the bridge as well, also a set of real strings, a good set-up, and I suspect new tuners...these peg-ones are a touch on the cheap side...
I will say I am very happy with the look of dark grain filler on mahogany with the orange stain over it, seems to approximate the "faux-koa"-look I was striving for...
Comments & criticisms are welcomed, hope to be a long-standing contributor to the forum!
