Mahogany neck, walnut bridge, tail piece and nut, LaBella nylon strings, which I am trying in place of Aquila's which I normally use. Liking the LaBella's so far.

Glad you got through the tests and with good results. I am maybe going to get that done when I turn 80!

Thanks much Alan! I am slow between builds but gives me practice and something to look forward to doing more when retirement time comes around. :-)

John, it was a good way to spend some rainy time over the long weekend and the "prep" day on Sunday for a colonoscopy on Monday... it kept my mind off how hungry I was and between b-room runs (all good, no issues) ;)  I have a bariuke  too, plus a concert and a couple sopranos. I have been playing those longer than cbg's. Thanks John.

Thank you Dave. I have been playing it and re-tuning while the strings are still stretching.

"Sweet", nice combination of Box & Timbers, "Looks Great", and I'm sure it will sound the same in your more than capable hands!, :-)

Very nice look to it Derek. I hope you enjoyed building her. Concert size ukes are faves. But will say that my 13 year old grand son is having fun with a baritone uke.

I bet we’ll Hear some sweet songs from this beauty Derek.
