Alder ukulele mock up

Braces and bridge patch are in place, sides and neck just lying next
to the soundboard.

Alder neck carved

The neck for Andy's alder soprano is shaped with the tools visible in
the pic. Alder is a wonderful wood to work with, carves like butter.
The stripe is both for looks and for strength.

Those of you reading this, send a happy thought to Andy, he's gonna be
a father!

A mess that defies belief...

In it can be seen, barely and left to right:
- Fourth piccolo sides, with end block glued in.
- Thick piece of basswood bent to be sliced and used as solid linings.
- Alder sides for Andy's soprano, with blocks glued.
- Two almost ready piccolos. The one with the strings awaits final
sanding.
- Walnut sides for pineapple, blocks glued.
- Neck for pineapple, with maple stripe.
- Back and soundboard for pineapple, sanded to thickness in my sander.
- Alder neck with mahogany stripe.
- Soundboard and back of alder, sanded to thickness.
- Robert's piccolo with the back glued, ready for fret slotting with
the perspex jig.

I really ought to finish some of them.
