Members kurtalderson Posted 4 hours ago Members Report Posted 4 hours ago I'm getting ready to go back to work again after a break and would like to show off this ukulele case. Perfection it is not, but labor of love it is. Like many loves, it looks terrific as long as the magnifying glass stays in your pocket. Al Stohlman's instruction on making a guitar was used for this. I even visited Tandy's leatherwork museum in Dallas the see the master's work. All in all, I think the project stacks up well. The front carving is from a photo I took in the Arizona's Superstition Mountains of Weaver's Needle. The back carving is a self-portrait done by my brother, Tony Alderson, who loved to hike "the supes". He's been gone about 25 years and the baritone uke belonged to him. It took me almost 4 years to finish this case, what with going off to work and carrying on, so this feels like a milestone in leather work. Quote
