Australian Uke
by marcus eyre » Sat Feb 11, 2012 6:33 pm
Hi guys. This is my first post here. Just recently finished my first instrument. It's a tenor uke. Mahogany neck, sapelli fingerboard, plywood(!) body. Took about 40 hours to complete and sounds sweet. Very happy with it...Thinking about the next,improved upon version already!

Welcome to the Forum, Marcus! How about a bigger picture that we can actually see?

Looks pretty cool Marcus. I like the peghead.

I like the body shape. Did you have to steam bend the plywood? How did that work out?
