Well done Martin I really enjoyed the build process and it looks a great uke. You'll need a concert to complement the tenor.

Hi Fergus ( teapotbowler), great to see you've joined up!  Excellent photos of your stunning concert uke! It really is outstanding - beautiful work  I do like the grain pattern in the (quartersawn) sides of your ukulele. Mine are plainer, but still v. nice. I finished your 'Helensburgh Toffee' by the way - almost single-handedly as well   |

I feel like a rank amateur without it now  I love the uke, and it really does sound as good as it looks. Better, probably  |

Well done Martin, you are now a fully fledged, card-carrying ukier. I am really impressed with what you achieved - you are a better man than I am Gunga Dinn. The only disappointment is that you did not knit your own case. Maybe next time... Brian |

Martin, with your new found wood working skills, a coffin case is a must.
