Been working on this one a while. Lots of fun to build but I have a lot to learn.

Looks really cool. Can you give us some details on how you made the head?
 
It is actually similar to the old Bolander or Sanstrom ukes but with a more modern twist.
It has a full tone ring and the head is tensioned from the bottom. Working on a resonator now,
it is pretty loud as is for a 6" head uke.

head

got any photos of the back how you tension the head?
Is that a bongo drum head?
