CORRECTION ! - CORRECTION !

Last night I posted a photo of two related woods, an American Sycamore, Platanus occidentals, and what I thought was the London Plane, Platanus acerifolia.  I got an email this morning from Jon Dale, correcting me.  He informed me that what I had called London Plane, was really the South American plane tree, Platanus panopsis.  Here they are again, see photo below. Jon has experience with both the woods and tells me that the London Plane is very similar to Sycamore, one of its parents.  
A little consultation with my local tree guru, John Wessellink, and some time with Google reveal that there are a number of related trees in the Platanus family that exhibit this distinctive cell pattern in various forms.  Many of them are called "Lacewood".  

In the workshop things were rolling.  I got the sides cut and fitted and glued onto the soundboard, and by this afternoon I had all of the tentalones glued in.  Here are all the parts ready to start the process.

And here we are, all put together.

I also did a lot of re-sawing.  this new Grizzly saw is doing a great job resawing and I have quite a collection of wood to be reason   This is redwood from two sources.  The dark wood in the saw is stained a bit purple because it came from a large vat that cured Maraschino cherries.  The outside surface was quite dark and purplish,  I was curious to see if the wood was colored all the way through the 3/4 inch plank.  It was.  When I make a uke with this wood I will recommend that it be played with a Manhattan or a Rob Roy close at hand.  Note the difference.  Cherry wood on the left, NYC water tower wood on the right. Both are Redwood.

Then I changed to a 1/4 inch bandsaw blade and cut all those necks that I had built a few days ago.  That meant I had to glue on the peg head extension.  Here they are all clamped up.  Almost done now.

It was a busy and productive day.
