AT LAST, the construction is done, the sanding is done, and the finishing process begins. Here are all five instruments hung in the shop. The banjo-ukes have now received three coats of Tru-oil, an easy quick rub on product really made for gun stock finish. They are beginning to shine. They are not acoustic in the same sense and don't benefit from a french polish finish.
The three tenors have now received their three wash coats of dilute shellac. Next comes the pumacing treatment to fill the pores in the walnut, koa and mahogany in these ukes.
