Next quarter (5 weeks or so) I'm taking a shop class that lasts until the end of the year. I'm a HS freshman and I didn't no what to think when signing up, but after speaking with a friend that is taking it now, it seems pretty cool. Apparently the shop teacher lets you build anything you want and there is a full supply of wood including cherry. I think I'm going to make an all Cherry uke in shop class. It should be easier than when I built my 2 guitars in my basement shop. I can't wait.

I think I will draw up my own. I'm actually toying with the idea of a harp uke.

Brian,

you seem like the kind of person who could pull it off. Go for it.
