Email me for some tonewood. Yew is a great wood to use BUT it produces a dreadfully 'dark' sounding ukulele upon which murder ballads and lost love songs are best performed in the key of Dm. It is also a monster to finish because it has no surface pore structure - great if you are handy with a spray gun or French polish but disappointing if you are in the TruOil camp. English Cherry is my favourite novice wood with African makore or African Cherry as it is also known a close second. They both work and bend easily and have a far more even and brighter sound than yew ukulele (and I've built quite a few of those...). I'll see what I have in my pile and gift it to you for making such a good first effort.
Side bar - I have decided to write the book on building a tenor ukulele, Hawaiian style - ie all same wood for body front sides and back, no rosette, just simple lines. It will be a true beginners book to cover all the techniques to make a largely hand built instrument using hand tools, a bandsaw, bench drill and router; plus a few essential specialist tools - bending iron, nut files
