A body

 

The sides (viewed from the top)

I have been making steady progress with the uke. I bent the sides - it's been a few years since I last did this and the cracking noise from the figured walnut was not encouraging. Too aggressive! Still, I pressed on and fixed the crack with some Araldite. This will need some more attention later on. I added an inlay where the sides join at the end, which will match the bindings. I'm reasonably happy with this. Finally, I made and fitted some kerfed linings (from some white pine).  Next up will be fitting the belly to the body.
