The Nunes ukes had a feathered lap joint held together with staples....The staples were removed after the glue had set and the damage covered over with a strip of veneer. ...The Mossman ukulele had a contrasting strip of wood inserted at the butt...I could have gone for the tight butt join....But the Mossman method was easier and it was a Mossman that I got all the measuments off...so thats what I went for I'm building a batch of 5 of these and learning the method as I go...The one in the video is number 4 this one will be Brazilian Mahogany with a Beech neck...Allen wrote:I liked that Ken.
Did you manage to get a tight butt join at the tail block?
