Steel String Concert Ukulele

So I'm almost caught up on the gold/nylon string ukulele.  I decided that I might as well start putting the finish on the Steel string one.  I got some cheap disposable tupperware containers to keep the stuff in between coats since I was worried about wasting it and having to mix stuff multiple times.  Anyway, here's after 2 coats, as I expected, its really bringing that green back out, and making the flame look pretty damn awesome.


I'll post a pic of the top later after I get another coat on there.

Steel String Concert Ukulele (overdue) update

So last week I got around to the neck.  I finished up the fretwork, inlaid the headstock, and glued on the bridge.  I'll be finishing it this week, I've just been trying to catch up on the other one so I can put on the finish at the same time.  Here's a couple current pics:



Thanks go out to Lou Shields.  I ran out of black dye, so he gave me the leftovers from his Shitar case so I could mix black epoxy for the inlay.
