After a two months break due to disappointment, flu and lumbago, I finally came back to the ukulele...

Before Christmas, I tried to bend my bindings but I made them too thick (3mm) and here is the result :




Then, I began to work on the headstock inlay :




Last sunday, I prepared new bindings ;




Fingerplane and drumsanding :



Bending on a ibex iron :

I'm not quite satisfied, still learning and making mistakes... amateur I am...

Have a nice evening,

Ben
