Almost there

Since my son was home from school today I got some bonus time in the workshop (a real shame the laptop was at the office so I couldn't work from home).

Frets are in, position markers in place, fretboard glued, bridge made and glued. And the uke got a wash coat of shellac to protect the wood. Before I cut the raised grain, I got a glimpse of just how lovely this uke will be. In a few days.
