The sides on these three (and some more to follow) are a little better than the previous ones. They are closer to being perfectly quarter sawn.
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.

Gah! More piccolos!
I started three more. The workshop is a mess. It is the mother of all messes. But it sort of works somehow.

Bridge for UU colab
I promised a long time ago that I would make some very small parts of the international Fun Build project, spawned by Vic on Ukulele Underground. Of course I forgot all about it. Almost. But the others have made a unique uke, and all of a sudden I was in a hurry. My name is already on the label!
So I made these, and I'll ship them tomorrow to Brad Donaldson in Seattle, who's assembling the uke.

The apprentice
I am not cloned, the instance to the right in the pic is really Lars. Lars will build a mezzosoprano of cherry under my stern and sometimes angry guidance.
This was the first actual building session, and the plates for top and back were joined.
