T005 Tenor Ukulele
Design Details

This ukulele was designed and started in early 2007, and I expect to be finished in late 2008. The ukulele will have a traditional fan braced soundboard with a ladder braced back. The soundboard will be built with a 25 ft radius domed profile, while the back will be built with a 15 ft domed profile. The neck will be designed as a standard length with a 12th fret body connection, and will be reinforced using a carbon fibre stiffening rod.

Components of the T005 Tenor Ukulele are:
Soundboard/Back/Sides: Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
Neck: Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
Fretboard: Ebony (Diospyros ebonum)
Bridge: Ebony (Diospyros ebonum)
Binding: Curly Maple (Acer saccharum)
Rosette: Black/White Strips
Tuners: Gotoh SEP700 Vintage Slot Head Open Geared Style in Nickel Plated
