Back to the garage on a rainy day. Here are the results of jointing and thickness sanding a nice set of bees wing Black Cherry. This body will be the size of a baritone ukulele, with the same 17" scale as a tenor ukulele and neck join at the 12th fret. The top will be salvaged old growth Redwood. The neck is Black Walnut with a Cherry core. Fretboard will be a piece of Rosewood I've had bouncing around the shop. I also think this will be a 6-string, with a 48mm nut and tuned E2-E4. Mimmo's posts about the Aquila 187c strings was the inspiration. I've been working on the kiku project, but the thought of a shorter scale 6-string has bounced around my head from time to time.
