First build

Thought I would show my first build of a tenor ukulele. I had some problems loading photos into the forum so I certainly hope they turn out ok.

I attended Tim Spittle's Stanley workshop in January and had a great time building and enjoying the local scenery. Tim certainly has an excellent knowledge of timber and the building process.

The build is:
Back and sides - Tiger Myrtle
Top - Huon Pine
Neck - Blackwood
Fretboard - Mulga
Headplate - Tiger Myrtle
Finish - Tru-oil

Chappy,

You gotta be happy with that, first build, very impressive.
There's something about tiger myrtle, it just looks great.
May you keep churning them out with the same quality, congratulations.

Thanks fellas,

I agree there is something about Tiger Myrtle.

Planning the next uke now but got a few jigs to finish off first.
