WHITTLING TONE BARS

4/17/2021

One of my favorite acts in building ukes is whittling the tone bars.  today I had lots of practice, 
Picture
Stu's baritone has 23 tonebars, whew!
Picture
Walters tenor has only 12,  a snap.
And then you have to glue and clamp them all on,  That is not so easy
Picture
I cannot get to all of them at the same time.  It will take two sessions.
Picture
I took the sides to of the molds,  Very nice b ends, very little spring back.  These will be excellent.
Picture
Bubinga, Bear claw Sitka and maple bindings make a pretty uke.  it is beginning to show the French Polish
Picture
East Indian Rosewood and Bear Claw isn't so shabby either.  These two are coming right along.
We are busy as bees here in Bellingham,  this is the Mason Bee colony on the back fence in their usual Spring frenzy.
