Single plank ukuleles

Ye olde mahogany that I resawed a couple of weeks ago will make a couple of sopranos first. In the spirit of old number one they will be made entirely from the same board, and on at least one of them everything will be mahogany. Maybe the other one will get a rosewood fretboard, I haven't decided yet. 

So the first pic is of me planing braces. I made them triangular on the bandsaw but they need some cleaning up. 


The planing board is clad with rubber to increase the friction, and the stop pieces are easily replaced if they get too knocked. 


And the second pic shows just how good it looks with a bridge patch and braces clamped down onto the one piece top.
