thanks how dose sitka spruce stand up to the tension of the strings dose it require xtra bracing?
 
it depends on the stock you have . if you have a perfectly quartered piece with tight grain you should be alright with minimal bracing (regular fan brace). sitka spruce or any spruce species are pretty stable. the size of uke youre building usually dictates how much bracing you need.for a soprano, i use two tranverse brace and a bridge patch ( mahogany) for the the top.
