THE TENORS ARE FINALLY FINISHED;
I made a new nut for the Redwood tenor today and filed the grooves down to a nice low action, Sounds great, intonation good, It's new owner will be in to pick it up Thursday. The Spruce/ Brazilian is ready to ship to its new owner in Texas and I will try to get that done before the week is out. The"native" made of all northwest woods I think I will keep for myself. I began these ukes in August. Time to get them on the road.

Here they are, numbers 60, 61 and 62. All very nice tenors. It was an interesting build. My first with Brazilian Rosewood, East Indian Rosewood and Rocky Mountain Juniper.
Also my first experience with side sound ports. I am convinced and plan to put side ports on all future tenors. They surely do not damage or diminish the sound and the sound directed at the player is really helpful. I even lkind of like the looks of this small oval void.
With the tenors completed now I can start work on the second 2 string base.
In preparation today I went downtown to Mr. Quist's violin ship to buy Cello C and G strings and to take some photos of cello Peg heads. I am eager to get carving on the neck and peg head. Here is what I will attempt to replicate
