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.

Finish
It's hard to take a decent pic of something shiny. But here's an attempt. There are maybe 6 coats of Tru oil on it so far, with some careful sanding in between. One coat was applied with the oil on a sandpaper, to grain fill. That gives you a slurry that is very hard to get even. I ended up rubbing the surface with my palms. I reek of Tru oil.

Looks beautiful. Love Tru-Oil finishes. I use it on my hair each morning.
Looking lovely. And I do like the smell of truoil...
Looks terrific. I love Tru-oil too. I hate handling it though - it gets sticky. I always wear vinyl gloves when I work with it.
