All-grade koa soprano

This is a highly individual soprano with its 'v' shaped neck and wooden tuners - quite a challenge.

The back and front are not a 'rising' match but come from the same board as does the sides. Rob specified a plain front but wanted the back and sides to be figured. This was an easy call because figure generally doesn't extend across the whole board so it turned out an 'economical' build.
Another challenge was the 'v' shaped neck. This was a 'new' carve for me but mandolin builders would be very familiar with this profile.

The wooden tuners are a treat.
