End Blocks, Linings and the Back

Just what the title says, made the end block and cut the mortise that will eventually hold the neck & drill the holes for the bolts..

All the kerfed kinings are glued on the sides and they are ready to be radiused.

The back has the bracing glued on and ready to be carved.. All in all good progress.

End Blocks & Kerfing

Now the end blocks are glued on, since the mortise is pre-cut in the neck block alignment needs to be precise.

After that the kerfing can be installed, and that is now half done.

I also tried come of these as clamps on the kerfing works good with lots of clamping pressure. Not too expensive..
