Hadn't noticed this thread before - some interesting images, then at the end this one that startled me - I don't often see a photo I could step right into - amazing.
Started a new project (as if I need more). It's a Baritone ukulele, and the wood is Bay Laurel from northern CA, USA. The top will be Sitka Spruce. When finished it will have a strong resemblance to this 1920s era beauty: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_1US4-jadoo/U4tSGDMM1bI/AAAAAAAAClU/ZS5yb2gcGls/s1600/washten-1.jpg Hope to be able to post actual instrument pics before long.

Getting close. This was the first trial view of the assembled instruments. I've found as the construction progresses, each step becomes more difficult and more critical. If you mess up the bindings, it just looks bad. If you mess up the neck or bridge fitting, your instrument becomes an attractive wall decoration.
