This was done as part of the Helsinki Festival - a true \'workshop\'...
Last week I was in Finland with 4 students building ukulele from my kits.

Spot the Finns, the Australian and the Englishman!
Each kit was mastergrade or 3A koa - I didn\'t realise it... I just picked the wood out of the pile! Students got to where it was set up and ready to play without the finish yet being applied. Here is one finished as it were:
