More ukuleles on the bench
Following the success of my previous build, I have three more ukuleles on the bench. Two Camphor Laurel (one I started with the previous build) and a Blackwood one. I really like the look of the Blackwood in this, it’s a bit of timber I milled some time ago. The Blackwood was much easier to bend than the Camphor, no splits in the timber at all and it was happy to bend where I wanted it to. I still have a few tweaks to do on the sides but it is mostly done. I have one neck blank which is from the same piece that I made the previous ukulele from, it is Claret Ash and Tasmanian Myrtle. I am still deciding on what the other two will be, I will definitely use the Claret Ash again but may include some Silky Oak through it too.

I have a bit of King Billy pine that I have created kerfing from and will use it for bracing also.

I still haven’t decided on what to use for binding. I recently received some WA She Oak from Dusteater that I will be using for fretboards, it has some lovely figure in it.
