And bet you do on the next one. Truly, the best guitar you have ever built was the last one.Sadly, I tend more to “Damn, I wish I’d done this“ or “Why didn’t I do that?”

Chris (Acornhouse and Cozad too), I think it's great that you take a critical eye to your creations, but I really hope you do take a moment to bask in the beauty (and achievement through technical difficulty) of what you are doing here. Life is very short. Revel in the moment.Sadly, I tend more to “Damn, I wish I’d done this“ or “Why didn’t I do that?”
She really is a beauty, Chris.
She's carefully checking that neck joint!
You question her dedication to the task?Probably smells the fish glue!
Do believe you got plenty!I've been debating what wood to use for the bridge. Ebony to match the headstock or pau ferro to match the fingerboard.
And the winner is...........neither!
Both of those woods are fairly dense and heavy. And since the uke is a nylon stringed instrument with similar bracing, it needs to follow the dictum for a classical guitar: rosewood. The lighter wood allows for more energy to transfer into the top.
Although I may need to cut this blank down a little.

Grain line shaming. You're right that the color of the new piece is a better match. Looks great!it had overly large grain lines.
