I was just wondering whether there was a reason other than aesthetics for builders to bookmatch the top and sides of a uke (or guitar, etc) rather than just use a single, unglued piece of wood?
Is it that finding a suitable piece of the proper dimension is too difficult, or that using the bookmatch process maximizes the usable amount of wood?
Much mahalos for your indulgence for what is basically just a "I wonder why ..." question.
