I didn't know! I promise!

But I found out too late that the camera was of VGA resolution. Anyway:

Thanks Tomas for the soundboard! It was very nice. And I will eventually keep my promise of sending you some nice swedish wood for it, just need to dry and resaw some.

Thanks Sven, that is nice. I'm just starting an Amy model concert with myrtle sides and back with a Port Orford cedar top which is quite similar to Hinoki. I hope it sounds as good.

Hey Sven,

That looks and sounds real nice. I am glad you liked the Hinoki, and found a use for it.


Take care,
Thomas

I would love to see some pictures Brad. The Pineapple I started is myrtle all the way around. I was thinking of Port Orford top for my next

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and Thomas - sorry I mis-spelled your name.

Nice uke, Sven.

As I mentioned in another thread a while ago, we working on a concert pineapple ourselves right now. I guess it's the year of the pineapple. Our top is Lebanese Cedar, which is pretty soft so we may need to add some binding like you did. Unfortunately we have no tools for the job or experience doing it. :\

I just bought the Stewmac #5248 and faked it. So now I have both the tool and some experience

It was really scary though. And since I'm impatient I didn't even test on scrap first...
