#3 Ukes' & #1 guitar

   
    Update; !

 "In the zone"  with 3 Tenor Ukulele's and 1 guitar.  2 Ukes are my Chena Uke models the 3rd one is a new model shape tenor a  little bigger bottom, gots more air. The guitar is a hybred Gypsy design (seen in the previous blog)

The instrument bodies have a wash of shellac for color and a sealant....2 have a primary wood of Koa and spruce,,,,the other is a primary of  nicely figured Myrtle wood and spruce.




   Like most my instruments it will have a shouldered side sound port for the listening 
pleasure towards the musician, like a little speaker.......

   There still is much to do to these instruments, binding & purfling, inlay logo at headstock,
 fret the fingerboard, inlay in fingerboard, finish and set-up........
   I start the binding today.......g
