I have an inexpensive but all solid mahogany concert with uncomfortably sharp edges on the body. I love playing it but the edge digs into my arm.
I'm thinking of rounding over the edges slightly all around the body but I have some concerns:
Should I use a dremel router? Or is this a hand tool job?
Given a satin open pore finish, what would likely be the best way to touch up the finish on the newly cut edges?
I was thinking of carefully masking the uke leaving only the cut surfaces exposed, then finishing the edges with a high gloss opaque black epoxy finish of some sort.
Thoughts?
