Ya can't buy anything in Canada any more that isn't imported from off shore. Simply disgusting 'we' can't do better. I recently received $50 worth of Asian electronics off the internet. Just garbage! The pots were so scratchy I gave them to my dog to help him out with his flea problem. Threw the rest in the garbage. Got in my car and drove to Washington state and requested made in US only. No more scratching.
Nice headstock man.
Cynthia,
Here is a side view of the headstock. I guess you could say that the scarf joint is not a real scarf. I draw a line
at the end of the neck from the very end, bottom to about 5" up the neck, top. Then I cut the line. I glue the scrap piece to the bottom of the neck, FACTORY SIDE TO FACTORY SIDE. This creates the headstock angle. It is not as steep an angle as you can get with a regular scarf. But it is super strong with lots of surface area for glue. After the glue dries, you thin the headstock, mostly from the top side. This way, you can add to the angle. Also, the glue line will appear. When I finish the uke, I will trim the end of the headstock. Depending how things go, I may saw off the glue line. It just depends. You can get a little more angle if you shorten the 5" measurment to about 4.5". I like it to be a little extra long, to be trimmed later.
I am curious about the scale length of the baritone and if the strings are nylon or metal.
The meet was good, although it was hot as hell in Sac. Looking forward to the boxes. Let me know what I can give in trade.
Thats the contrasting headstock Im excited about! If you can show a side view of your scarf; especially the previous ones where you sanded and let grain show, Im now attempting an entire build, fret board, stacked neck, and "ears" on a baratone. Next is the cat dish reso, and later a tin Canolele. Ive Liked Kings work and his neck join jig is a god send for un-wood savey like me. Split 4 tail string ties of bolivian rosewood on the Maxx box before I finally got it right. Photos to follow. Tell Will the Worth strings are the primo best. Used on several ukes and no bad side yet. Ill be sending several boxes on Friday(day off) several others based on the Ashton Churchill size for you to try. If not to your liking ; pass them on, I wont be insulted. Thank Will for the reso photos; tin, and yourself, of course.
Thanks, Uncle John
Pro looking.
