Sides cut to length

Every morning I swear that I'll go to bed earlier. So no blocks
tonight. But Robin's or Thomas' sides are shaping up to be quite nice.

Must decide on wood for the blocks. On the walnut uke I used spruce.
It is easy to work with and seem to go well with mahogany too. But
mahogany blocks are elegant.

sa-weeeet! I'm following the development eagerly.

Mahogany blocks will also be lighter, right?

Hm. I think spruce is lighter. I'll do some weighing tonight.

Yes you might be right, I was thinking of maple vs mahogany.

PS. Good thing we keep this conversation in English so the whole world can benefit from our conclusions...
