Just finished this tenor ukulele.
Mango body
5 piece Silky, Vic ash and mystery wood I had lying around neck
Casurina fretboard
Casurina and Macassar ebony bridge

Pretty happy with the sound, it's only been strung up a day though so we'll see how it settles in.

Nice work Jim...alot happening visually with this instrument

Nice looking build Jim

Did you keep the mango on the thick side?
Did it seem a little soft?Would mango work on a flat top guitar?

Thanks Jonny,
No, I kept it to my usual thickness but changed the bracing as it wasn't as stiff as the bunya I usually use. Apparently it does make a really nice guitar too. I'm really happy with the sound- I'd definitely use it again for uke.

Cheers

Jim

I think it looks cool, well done mate.
