On the attachment> In my picture, is Ukulele I'm making out of these woods.
Body: Koa
Top: Spruce, or possibly Red Cedar(it's been a while, so I forgot)
Neck: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Ebony
My hole came out horizontally off to the right by about .4 inches.
There's about 1+1/2" to the left of the hole, and 1+3/16" to the right.(the hole itself being about 2+1/6")
If you can see the center line in the picture, that's how much it's off, and the paper clips represent strings. I very much want to glue the bridge and neck along the centerline of the body, so I was thinking about extending the hole to the left, making it less of a circle, and more of an oval. Would this adverely affect the sound? Would it be better to do this and place a piece of new wood with a new hole over this?
Or what is a decent course of action?
