Simo kindly sold me some offcuts of mahogany and maple, and I couldn't resist ...

I was channelling Renaissance and Baroque guitars, which were often stripy, but Mexican would please its intended owner too.

I promised a view of the finished uke - my show and tell is at around 2:00 after the song.
