SPECTACULAR PRACTICE

The playing wasn't so great but the sunset was spectacular.  I love sitting outside on these warm summer evenings and playing the ukulele as the sun goes down.

I have made a good start on number 98 this weekend. This will be another Cocobolo/Cedar tenor.  Most of the parts are now assembled, and I lined them up here for you to see.  The spruce braces and tone bars are at the bottom of the picture beside the "under the rosette"  brace. Next the sides , cut and thinned ready to bend,  
Next is the Honduran Mahogany neck, marked and ready to take to the bandsaw.  The railroad track is holding down the drying rosette which I got installed today and glued in with hide glue.
​Finally, under the bag of lead shot is the back which I had in clamps for a couple hours,  thought I would just leave it over night before working farther on it.

I took a shot of the Cocobolo back before I glued it up and put in clamps.  This beautiful wood is extremely dense, hard and oily.  I will glue a supporting strip of cross grain ebony veneer over the back joint.
