I put that down to the depth of the body as well as the tonal quality of the timbers. <br />For the thickness of the body timbers, I ripped them at just under 5mm and then brought them back to 2mm as the final finished thickness. I had to start thick-ish as my bandsaw does not cut a perfectly uniform thickness and I wanted some insurance. I used a drum sander for the final thicknessing.The Village Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08357757946377220970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009842661178078975.post-88850986093002300862017-03-24T11:42:07.447-07:002017-03-24T11:42:07.447-07:00I came across your blog while contemplating buildi...I came across your blog while contemplating building my own ukulele, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting! I have one question though: you skipped over a discussion of material thickness for the body. Do you have any guidance in this area?<br /><br />Nice looking ukulele! I trust it plays well, too.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284100228081719908noreply@blogger.com
