PROGRESS REPORT

The finishing process is the most frustrating part of the build.  You sand and rub and apply coat after coat of French Polish, and then all of a sudden it seems worth the effort.  I think I passed that point today, These ukes are coming alive.

Here is Stu Fuchs's tenor.  The east indian rosewood is really dark, but wow does it take a finish.

If it sounds as good as it is going to look both Stu and I will be happy.

And then there is Ron's Baritone.  Oh, My, the combination of Bubinga and tiger stripe Maple is lovely,  This is going to be the prettiest instrument that I have built.  I need to find some more of that neck wood.

And just look at the "bear claw" Sitka Spruce.  Is this not lovely?
