Days getting longer, so time to resurrect this project started 15 years ago. I bought a set of plans and bits of wood etc with the intention of building a tenor ukulele. This was just after building my second guitar.

Made a neck the wrong size (damned inches on American plans). So I made a second neck blank to the correct dimensions then abruptly stopped and stuck everything in a box under stairs. Feeling motivated to get it finished. Firstly, what’s missing? #ukulele #ukulelemaking

Building up the French polish finish on a cedar soundboard.
