I’ve completed the bridge install for the “Fender” Uke.  The experiment with using beads as string ends worked well.  The strings are now fully stretched and stay in tune, and the intonation is quite fine, indicating I mounted the bridge properly.

I ordered three different mahogany neck blanks to see them side by side and hopefully arrive at a favorite.
