Hi everyone !

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 :

1.5mm thick instead of 3.2mm, it's easier... duh

Gluing :

I'm not quite satisfied, still learning and making mistakes... amateur I am... [uncle] laughing6-hehe

Have a nice evening,

Ben
