THE LUTHIER'S APPRENTICE

Delrene wanted a tenor just like my #100, a Kasha of East Indian Rosewood and Redwood, with lovely curly koa binding.  #100 is the best sounding uke I have built, and she wanted its clone.  She also urgently wanted to have a role in it's birth.  I have never done this before but I let Delrene come to the workshop and do a little sanding one afternoon.  And today I taught her to French Polish.

Here she is polishing up the bridge.

Note the gloves and the Munica held in her fingers.  thats the new baritone on the right.

And here  she is working on the East Indian Rosewood back- and it is starting to shine.

And here is the Redwood tone board, brilliant and rich.  Bet it will sound that way also.
Delrene has done a marvelous job.  May have to hire her as my "finisher". this uke is about done.

Boy, they both look Great Brian and Delrene. Delrene is a special person with a new uke coming that'll suit her wonderful personality.

Congrats to the both of you on the "clone" of #100. I'm not sure it beats mine though lol. As I'm sure all the Griffin owners say about their's. Looking forward to playing both the bari and tenor.
