I see lots of people asking “what thickness should xxx be”
I am trying to find out how the thickness (or more to the point the thin-ness) affects a ukulele build.
I have some very nice Utile mahogany. I have made a top and back that are around 1.8mm at the moment (will be sanded) but I managed to snap the original sides when bending. All I have left to match up is a very thin 1.1mm - 1.2mm sheet.
Would you use it for the sides? or is it too thin. otherwise ill have to scrap the idea... (in which case Im not sure what to do with the plates) any ideas please?
thank you
