This new uke is coming along nicely. The binding went on very well, The heel cap of Honduran Rosewood is attached. Now it is time to finish the neck and do lots of sanding to get it just right.
The Port Orford Cedar soundboard is looking great, The Bubinga sides and back fit well. Now the challenge is to make a fast and comfortable neck, I think this is going to be a really good one.
Here is the end piece.
And here is the back. This Bubinga is pretty wood. I am liking it.

The binding is curly white Koa. You can't see the figure in it yet, but it will jump when the finish is applied.
Going to be a nice instrument.
