Here is the latest. Concert sized uke with a curly maple body and neck with Jotoba fretboard, bridge, and logo inlay. Lauhala (pandanus) rosette. Decided to try the Tru oil finish. It was pretty simple to apply, although I didn't catch the part about removing EVERY scratch from the surface before applying Tru oil. Apparently there were some fine swirl scratches from the RO sander on the back, and the Tru oil doesn't fill them. I'm glad this uke wasn't promised to anyone, or I'd have to strip it down and refinish. They're really hard to see, you can pretty much only see them in the right light, so I'll just leave them in and chalk it up to experience. I guess this is one of those "give away" practice ukes!
