Mountain Whimsy

My apologies for the fishing reference. But it is spring and my mind is starting to drift towards trout streams. At this point in a build, things seem to happen quickly. What was a bunch of individual pieces of wood, suddenly become an instrument. Cutting the mother of pearl logo Inlayed logo Fitting the neck dovetail joint Dry fit of all the pieces. The neck carve will come next. This one will be complete and ready for finish spraying just as the spring temperatures get

I hate it when this happens!

This is always a satisfying step in any build. The parts are starting to come together into something that's recognizable. The binding comes next. And then fitting the neck.

Setting the Uke aside for a few weeks as I wait for Waverly to build a set of custom tuners. So that leaves time for some progress on a Mayfly build. Here's a set of Indian Rosewood sides bent and ready for neck and tail blocks.
