Full frontal

After hesitating a while I decided to reveal the "fancy inlaywork" on
the fretboard. What better way to mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th
fret? You have to count fast though to get it right.

Fretboard glued on pineapple

I am struggling hard not to remove the clamps, but I think they can
sit there while I'm at work. Then the glue will be clamped for 24 hours.

I'll buy some better shellac today, and then it's just bridge, nut and
tuners! The uke might be ready til the next installment of Robert
Hultman's Ukulelekabaré!

Alli's tenor up next

With Simon's piccolo done, and Markus' pineapple awaiting parts, I
cleared some of the mess(es) and started the alder tenor I'm making
for Alli.

I sanded the parts last week, so all the worst parts are done.
