A Ukulele For A Gent

[NauticalGent]

That is just AWESOME. Thanks for letting me know! Just the other day I was wondering how you and it ever made out together. I must be psychic or something? Can't wait until you upload a vid of you playing, which will bump this old thread and I'll be back. Did you tell instructor that it was aka Lydia?

But of course!

Me too (mine, not yours). I gave it to #2 son since he adores me and seemed smitten by it. That's one reason why I'm trying my hand at this. Don't think for one minute that it's a real money saver. I've paid over $200 for back and side sets and that's not real extravagant. Here's the back plate for the one I'm working on while I wait for an opportunity to apply finish to the African Mahogany one in the other thread. Note: I wiped it with mineral spirits to make the grain and colour pop a bit, but it's not sanded so it's a little rough.

Those grains look beautiful.
