Lonnie, I use a free app called Minima to resize the photos from my iPad to post to this forum. Sounds like a sweet girl. I look forward to seeing her new guitar!

Thanks Kyle I worked all afternoon trying to post a picture. Finally gave up and had half a fretboard left to saw the slots for the frets. Just finished and gave the Lyra Uke and the fretboard to the wife. She's quality control. Said it passed. I was so frustrated with those pics. It's cool how losing yourself for awhile in your project makes that go away. Ok minima it is let's see if I can make it work. Oh yea when I got back into the front room Carol told me your phone just went off. I'd won a nice Hormiga back and sides for a Ukelele for 19 bucks. Things looking up. :0)

I hope this works. I just had the sides laying on the back to show the contrast between the purpleheart and EIR

The headstock is Ebony Veneer over a neck of African Mahogony. It's what Kalei chose from my selection of woods. The mahogany is a beautiful golden color good choice Kalei
