  • Thanx for the Likes fellas, much appreciated  :D

  • Thanx Ghostbuttons, I decided to go with bamboo toothpicks & skewer for the nut this time, only cost me a dollar & change at an Asian store? I’ve also used Bamboo chopsticks for nut material with great results? Cheers :)

    1. BrianQ you’re spot on about toothpick fretting. I’ve built several ukes with toothpick frets and have oversanded to the point of uselessness.  Look forward to seeing more of this one.
  • After shaping & sanding they’ll be a lot lower, my only problem with toothpicks, is ya gotta be careful cuz they sand down a little too fast? Cheers uncle :)

  • Big ole frets.  I am gonna try one with tooth pick frets some time.  Nice looking neck and scooped out picking spot.  My daddy liked him some fried Spam now and then.
