Off and on since July I've been working on completing a couple of sopranos and two tenors. One of the tenors is for Kevin Crossett, the host of the Uketalk forum. When I got to installing the binding I ran short on purfling material so I moved onward with this spruce top that I'm planning to use during my performance at SCUF and the Wine Country Ukulele Festival in October. The delivery truck from Stew Mac was here today so I will be able to resume work on Kevin's tenor very soon.
Here are a couple of pics of a spruce top with walnut sides and back. The materials are first class. They were given to me by Pete Howlett from UK Ukes a couple of years back. This is my first slotted headstock. I'm pretty excited about getting this one finished because it's been since November of last year that I completed my last two ukes.
I just need to make a bridge and locate it and then start the finishing process. I have a number of upcoming weekends booked with gigs or other happenings but I think I'm still on target to get it completed for SCUF. Wish me luck folks.
BTW, excuse my photography because it stinks.
