Mahogany ukuleles (long overdue update, pic heavy)

Regan has been a pain in the butt as far as napping goes this week, so all my work has gotten done in the middle of the night basically.  In the past two days, I received in the mail: neck wood, tuners, bindings, bridges, a case, and fretboards.  I was super anxious to get to work, but Regan didn't go down for a nap until almost 7pm.  I had bent the sides and glued up the bodies the other day, and finally got to true them up tonight, as well as surface and cut the neck blanks to width.  I still need to trim them down to length, it took me awhile because I had bought a rough cut slab that was on sale.  I'll post a pic from the ebay auction since i forgot to take a before pic.  Anyway, here's a ton of pics.















Here's the before pic, it doesn't do it justice how rough the surfaces all were





Tomorrow:  rout and attach bindings, sand bodies, cut and glue up necks.  Stay tuned.
