Getting pretty close! This is a shot of the front of the uke a couple hours after spraying the final two coats of lacquer. Here's what's next: The bridge is still unglued at this point. It will have to be adjusted for height, positioned for scale, and glued on. The lacquer under the bridge will have to be gently removed to get good adhesion. The uke still needs to be rubbed out to a high gloss after about a week of curing. The nut and saddle still need to be shaped and slotted, and the tuners installed. Then I'll string it up and see what it sounds like!!
