Grizzly Ukulele Kit

The headstock in the kit is shaped in a simple pointed crown. Not bad but I wanted something different. Over the past few days I've been toying with different shapes for the headstock. I cut out a cardboard template and drew up a whole bunch of different ideas. Ultimately I chose a simple wave pattern and traced it onto the headstock.



I clamped the neck to my workbench and used my Dremel with a jigsaw attachment to cut it roughly to shape. It was a bit difficult to see what I was doing because the light in my shop (garage) isn't very good but I managed to stay outside of the lines.



I used a file to get through the remaining wood and finished it off with a small sanding drum on the Dremel. I tried to be careful but I still managed to pull off a few chips of wood. I saved the piece of the headstock I cut off so I'll use bits of that to fill the gaps.
