I have a rubber stamp for guitar headstocks (same design as shown in that mockup) and a glossy permanent ink stamp pad.

I'd need to have a slightly smaller one made for ukuleles... Or I may just make a decal...

Custom rubber stamps are surprisingly inexpensive! The one I have is 2" x 0.5"

I removed the neck support block from the neck with my Japanese Flush Cut saw. I will try to remove the remaining thin pieces of ukulele body with a hot iron.

I'm thinking I may go more this direction with the headstock:

Dunno... Still up in the air. May come up with something completely different!

First mockup:

Scale length is 13.5". Soprano ukes typically have the side wings trimmed off of the bridge, also.

Did a little more work on this today...

Used an iron to heat up and remove the remaining scraps of the support block and ukulele body from the neck:
