Neat-O. What type of bridge is that on the long scale?

Thanks, mm! I think they are some of the best sounding ones I have made yet. Then again, the newest one is most often my favorite!
Like the way your thinking with the carb... and a small hardtail bobber is what I am going for. Check em out, it's the ukulele of the motorcycle world!!http://www.oldschoolhardknock.com/
the bridge on the long scale is ebony on red oak. I've recently got my hand on a bandsaw so i can safely cut small pieces without creating alot of waste, the way I was doing when trying to hold small pieces under the miter saw. I was going to lose something that way.
I was using that nut blank stuff but ebony is just so good lookin' and nice and requires no finishing as far as i am concerned. and i use mostly cheaper woods, so its nice to have at least a little piece of something special in there.
I know these aren't what most builders would be interested in, but I'm an artist, not a luthier, and they are fun, and sound good too!
