Ziricote and Adi Spruce Tenor

Post by chappy » Thu Aug 14, 2014 4:14 pm

Just finished number 6 Tenor ukulele.

Back and sides - Ziricote
Top - Adi spruce
Neck - American Walnut
Headplate, fretboard & bridge - Ringed Gidgee
Tuners - Gitoh SG381 brushed black chrome
Strings - Living Waters
Finish - 6 coats white shellac, micromeshed to 12000 and 3 coats of orange oil.

Pretty happy with the result, the ziricote gave me some problems. All overcome though.

It probably needed an extra 2-3 coats shellac , but happy with a ukulele that has a lovely tone and great sustain.

Hope the photos turn out ok

Cheers

Alan
