Number 10: Tenor Uke
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2020 11:47 am
As the quarantine shutdown wore on I began looking for another project. So I began gathering spare parts, odds and ends, and so on to begin a new project. This Tenor uke is the result.
It's mahogany neck, back and sides with a koa wedge flanked with maple. The headplate is koa with a sailor jerry waterslide decal. The interior neck and end blocks are mahogany tongue and groove that I trimmed and radiused. The finish is primarily shellac with a few coats of semi gloss lacquer over it.
The soundhole is oval because my circle router would have made the hole too big. So I drilled two center holes and split the difference.
Thanks for looking!
