Please excuse my constant questions but I have another one. When it comes to cutting the sides for an arch back uke to the proper shape do you cut to shape first or bend and then shape?
Thanks

Yes I do before bending... it saves a lot of sanding on the radius dish.
 
Rough cut before bending, bend and sand to shape in a dish or by planing or whatever method you use before putting in the kerfing, put in the kerfing and shape them again to final shape before glue-up..
