I am ordering my first Uke kit & have been thinking a lot lately about building ukes & how they are constructed. Looking at the Stew Mac kits, the top & back come as a single piece, which leads to the question:
Why book match the back at all?
Obviously you want to get the grain matched up & looking nice, but is it required for any other reasons?
What is to stop you from just cutting out the back in one section & using that, like the top piece is?
I'm not saying anything against it, just wondering why the back is constructed out of 2 pieces, rather than one.
