Building a better world, uke by uke.
This is my building diary. I build ukuleles in my apartment workshop. I try to label the posts, so if you're interested in anything in particular you might find it by clicking the labels.
Feel free to contact me if there is anything you want to ask, or even better; tell me.
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.

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...
