Finished Quilted Mahogany Tenor Ukulele. Now with Video!

Post by johnnparchem »

Back, sides and top - Quilted Mahogany
Neck - Mahogany
Back, Sides and neck Pore filled with a thick finish grade CA
Finished with a few padded coats of Seal-Lac and untold padded coats of Royal-Lac
Head stock veneer is Amboyna burl and I think the back strap is Bobinga (I just grabbed something from my stash when I sanded too far into the back of the head stock.)
Binds and end graph is ebony.

Thanks guys,

Here is a video that I made. Sorry about the playing, at least you can hear it. In youtube you can change to HD.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Both in looks and sound. I've started my Koa tenor uke build after being inspired by your build.
Learning every day.
