...so I'm working on a tenor for a give-away at a raffle, and I can't find the drawing! I have the drawing for a soprano, and just can't remember whether the fingerboard on the tenor should be wider. Any help that's not too contradictory would be appreciated....

I build my tenors 1-3/8" at the nut.

Yes - 35mm at the nut is pretty standard. My uke necks are 45mm at the body join for all body sizes and 12.5mm string spacing at the bridge.

The Hana Lima 'Ia plan has 1-3/8" at the nut and 1-3/4" where it meets the body. I recently built a tenor with these specs and it feels right; an earlier one with a 1-1/2" nut seemed too wide to me. A tenor Fluke is 1-7/16" and 1-11/16".
