WHEW ! the sound ports are installed. Now I can box these ukes up. I will be doing a bit of sanding on these with my finger in the hole to round them out and make them a little more friendly to the exploring finger, and I think to the eye. I was going for contrast on the Maple/Juniper/walnut on the left so I used walnut. The Brazilian/Englemann/Alaska Cedar in the center is all about contrast so I used maple. The East Indian Rosewood/Redwood/Honduran Mahog on the right got a koa ring which matches almost perfectly the lighter stripe of the side. It may differentiate a bit when finished but I wanted it to blend.
Next challenge-what bindings do I use. If you have an opinion send me an email. I have ebony, rosewood, maple, tiger stripe maple, tiger stripe Australian blackwood and black fabric. What do you think?
