Photos.

SOLD! $275 include shipping in the lower 48. PLEASE READ description! This one had issues so it's been hanging around in the shop for a couple of years, occasionally being played, so it has a few light scratches on it and one noticeable scratch on the top. $275 is about a third of what I'd...

In the past I radiused the whole top on my 12 fret sopranos and so I have a slight neck angle, then scrape and sand the radius into the fretboard past the 12th fret. I've seen youtube video of a well known guitar luthier that does the same. I did that on a couple of 15 fret sopranos and it was...

I've been using birch ply for many ukes now for reasons given in the thread. Before that I used mahogany or poplar I laminated myself, depending on what I had on hand. I really feel like the birch ply is the best option all around.

I've been pore filling my black walnut using ebony Timber Mate water based wood filler thinned a bit. I love the look. I'll probably do it on the next mahogany uke I build, with a dark red stain and maybe a darker burst.

The uke is sold. Thanks y'all!

Thanks, youz guys. Price reduced to $575.00

Thanks for the kind words, y'all. I can't believe I didn't get a better shot of that inlay. Here's a shot of it on the inlay bench.

Couple more photos.

This was the last uke I completed. I'm feeling better again and will start completing some back burner ukes and start some new stuff I have drawn up. Black walnut back and sides, Douglas fir top, mahogany neck, Gotoh UPT tuners. I couldn't get the colors in the inlay to show up on camera. The...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I noticed I did a duplicate post so I made a mistake and deleted the first one which evidently removed the photos so here they are again. Blue frog inlay on a Blue Frog soprano.

Super Soprano waiting for its Gotoh UPT tuners.

This jig keeps everything flat during glue-up. I've had to make all new ones since changing to a radiused fretboard. After I attach a hinged headstock caul, they'll also be used for final neck shaping. That's a sopranino neck, which fits on the soprano jig. I cut the fret slots with a thin kerf...

Built this jig yesterday. The black plastic base on the Colt protrudes a bit so I routed channels in the radius thingies and it slides in and out . I'll replace the part that slides in after the router with one made out of hardwood with threaded inserts and a couple of those black knob bolt...

Here's a tenor back and side set made from aromatic eastern red cedar. Very pretty but not the same as that gorgeous cedar top on Pete's uke.

Yard sale find I picked up yesterday. Tested it today and it works smoothly, and sooooo quiet compared to my electric. I was wanting a Dynabrade for a long time but this DA runs comparably. I asked the guy how much for his air tools and he said, "A buck a piece." lol... I grabbed this and a...
