Uke build 8.1 - Finished (almost)

Had a bit of a mishap with the finish. The first coat went on fine, but the second went on a lot faster than I intended. I probably jostled the controls on my spray gun when cleaning it out between coats.

It turned out not looking too bad, so I think I'll keep it like this. Plus this cuts down on another day or two of spraying finish. I put the rest of the hardware and strings on, and here it is:



Still need to work on the string height, and I'm a little nervous bringing the strings up to pitch. Intonation is a little off. I'm hoping that's an artifact of the string height and/or the relatively slack string tension I have on it at the moment.
