THESE THREE TENORS made big advances today, they are not far from entering the world 0f 2014. I got each neck shaped to the proportions and measurements I was seeking and they feel slick and fast. I also completed the 120 grit sanding. This is the first aggressive sanding where you sand out every little tool mark, dent, blemish, scratch, that has collected over the long construction process. Now the rest of the sanding is much easier and faster. I will change to 180 grit tomorrow and go over them again. Then 220. Might get both grits done tomorrow. Then a 320 grit and that might be enough sanding. Don't want to get the wood so smooth that the finish has nothing to stick to.
These are three dramatically different ukes, Claro Walnut and Redwood for Dave, Koa and Cedar with Mahogany neck for Trey, and a "Blonde" with koa, Englemann Spruce and Alaska Cedar neck for Doc Weaver. going to be fun to compare their sound |
