Wow, good for you Brad. That's some nice koa.
I've had an uke in mind for a couple of years to build for myself. I've got the koa chosen and set aside, the inlay patterns drawn up, etc. It'll probably be the last uke I ever build though, just haven't gotten around to it. I envy you, it's a luxury to build one for yourself. You planning on anything special?
I few months ago I had small pinhole in the finish of one of my ukes. Despite several attempts to fix it I was never able to to my satisfaction. It was like a zit you keep playing around with. So I kept it. Now I finally have a good uke for myself, one I don't have to make excuses for. (The ones I've had previously were many years old.)
