My First Build!

Hi Everyone! I finally finished my first build and have been playing it all time! It's a Stew Mac kit that I added a few modifications to: carved the headstock, opened up the fretboard and inlayed a really neat piece of vintage marquetry, then upgraded the rosette to MOP and the tuners to Grovers...the soundboard art is wood stains and a bit of paint and it's strung with Oasis warms...
I had a blast working on this, so if anyone is considering trying the kit-do it!!! But be sure to get the DVD!
A special thankyou to Chuck Moore for his advice on spraying finish!
My friends at my local meetups here in sunny Florida told me I did an excellent job and made a really sweet sounding uke! I'm looking at wood for my next one!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Awesome Nancy! I love the repurposing on the fret board. Very clever.

Thanks so much Chuck! I'm going to experiment with more inlay for the next one! Feels nice to break out all my old woodworking tools!

Cool uke! And truly one if a kind.

Congrats Nancy!- the first one is always a delight

Cool decorations. Looks like a keeper

Congratulations Nancy. Very cool! So, what's next??? LOL

Thank you all sooooo much! I'm finding this to be a great way to cure a bad case of UAS! I think I'm going to make a Concert next!

Careful, it never ends. There's even more wood and tools out there than there are Ukes.

Congrats on #1!
