There are always a few tweaks. I wanted to make the saddle a little bit higher, so here I am sawing a new one out of a chunk of buffalo bone with a jewelers saw.
Got to flatten and thin it. This is my homemade holder. Saves the fingers I can tell ya.
I also got the MiSi pickup installed. This was a busy day but this uke is just about finished.
