Finishing the Rough Necks

Scarf Joints are done and now it's time to cut truss rod slots and glue up the heel blocks. Truss rod slots are done as stopped routes on a router table. The heel block glue up is a bit of a tedious process with a 5 piece neck, the lamination layers must line up 100% front & back otherwise things will look off when the heel is carved.

Both operations are done and next is some fingerboard work.

mark the edge of the router bit for the stopped cut

so they can be exactly aligned
