"Uncle Crow" style, from his videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmDssZ6MbOg

Took me about 4 hours to build - I had to keep going back to the videos to see what to do next. It's a nice, easy setup for a first time build.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for more boxes.  I ordered a set of 10 from thompson cigars; they should be here on Friday.  I'm also gonna try out some other designs, and probably make a didley bow and a baritone uke.

 

I love that I finally found something that combines my passions for music, and woodworking.  (And there's something romantic about playing your own homemade instruments - I can hardly put mine down.)

Thanks.  I've been pretty happy with it.  I did have to go back and shape the neck some more, and give it a little more curve.  And I'm still peeved that I tore up the edge of the wood when I drilled the soundhole (though I don't think that really shows that well in the pictures.)

 

Anyway, thank you.
