I roughed out the two Alaska Cedar necks for these concerts a couple of days ago. For the third Concert I got a piece of Honduran Mahogony 30 inches long and one inch thick and was able to cut it into two Concert necks. Now I will have one in reserve for the next build.
So here they are clamped to the edge of the work table as the glue sets. The process is this
1. Run the board through the thickness sander until both sides are perfectly smooth. This gives you perfect glue
joints.
2. Mark where you want the 15 degree neck angle to begin and saw that angle on the band saw.
3. Turn that cut off piece over and glue it to the neck, making the bent neck a reality
4. saw off two short pieces and glue them, one at a time, to the neck . you will later cut them to shape on the
band saw
The amazing thing is when these ukes are finished you will barely be able to detect where the glue seams are
