Three tenors
Three tenors
Thought with all the uke discussion, I should show mine
1. Blackwood uke (AKA the broken uke--my wife drove over the rims)
The third picture shows the repaired rim. will pull it apart at some stage to rework the neck and headstock shape a bit
2. European Walnut/ sinker redwood/Pau ferro Loud, responsive and crisp
3. Padauk/ wrc WIP

Yeah I really lucked out on that Walnut, the picture really does not do it justice. even after all the time I worked on it I can just sit and look at it sometimes and be amazed, so much depth in the curl.
Its a sassafras binding, I had some from the ribs from my last guitar. wanted something ligh coloured but low key.
Here's how the blackwood side looked before repair

Agreed ! Great work Jeff . The Uke has already got quite a history and it's only just been born . I'm betting it'll end up being your favorite. The three tenors look fantastic .Toejam wrote:Nice Ukuleles Jeff but that repair takes the Cake. I have been proud of some of the repairs I have done but that one deserves a Medal. Reach over your left shoulder with your right hand and give yourself a hearty pat on the back for that one.

Seems I'm about the only one not building a uke at the moment . I blame David Hurd for this . It's his evil plot to transform all guitar builders into Uke builders. I understand he also has Bob convinced, and ready to change the name of this forum The ANZUF
