That looks great Mike. Addictive things to build aren't they.

Great build there Mike. Nice Blackwood too! I like to build the odd Uke myself and I have planned a Tenor to match my concert. One day!!

Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers

You can see why Blackwood is my favourite timber for it's appearance. With the black contrasts & oiled finish this ones a stunner Mike, your mates wife will be very happy with it I'd say. If she's not.......send it over to me
