The soundhole

Here's the uke in a tool-free pic. Hard work cutting the puka with a knife - the spruce is much tougher than the cedar was.

Neck shaping

I was a bit eager when I carved the neck with the knife. Some chunks flew off and leveling the area around those parts makes it very thin. The wood seems really strong though, so hopefully it won't warp. And I don't know how to shape the headstock yet.

Back cont

Well the glueing appears to have turned out fine. I hope I put it on straight, can't really tell before I make the soundhole and see the braces...
