Nice one:2tsup:
I may give that a go when I get my current projects finished. Was that an Oregon 4x2 you used?

Given the Bunnings docket read MGP-10 90x45 Baltic and the colour I am guessing European red baltic pine, aka scots pine possibly from New Zealand plantations.

It's funny y'know, but to build and fly a V1 seems perfectly feasible to me but, to play a ukulele ...... WOW!

Awesome work, actually saw this over at ukulele underground (member there too) and thought is was pretty amazing.
I'll get around to doing a 2x4 eventually if I can ever get the baked fretboards to work.

And because an 8 foot 2 by 4 is big enough for more than one.
Enjoy.
