Black and White Ebony build in progress!
Hey all, I’m new to the scene but thought I’d throw out what I was working on…
I just started making ukes this past summer and am loving every minute of it, so when I ran into the opportunity to purchase some black and white ebony lumber, large enough to make uke’s, I bought it up!!! So I decided to start taking pics of my builds and get them out there for people to see as I am having a hard time finding a builder that makes ukes in some of the woods I’m using ( is this good or bad!!!) Anyway, here’s some shots after the box is complete and the binding channel routed! As you will see there’s no rosette! I decided not to use one on this build, I hope it doesn’t come back to haunt me!
As you can see, it’s coming along nicely, next step is to install the pictured binding that matches the colors VERY nicely, there’s even some of the brown in the B&W that matches.
I used a one piece Sitka top as it matched the color in the ebony very well, and it has engelmann bracing. I’m very pleased with it so far!
Let me know what you guys think!!! Can’t wait till I get it done and can post a pic!
Any comments welcome, even the critical!
