The Neck

So at this point he neck is still a big block of wood. The fingerboard can now be glued on and the neck can be carved.. I've carved the neck both on and off the guitar and frankly kind of like doing it more when it is on the guitar, there is n more to hold on to when it is a complete guitar..

Once the fingerboard is glued on the carving can begin.. Preferred tools are a spoke-shave , chisels and rasps of various types.. it actually goes pretty quick.. This neck probably took me 4 hours total work time spread over 2 days..

Before, nice tapered fingerboard on a square neck

Partly done removing the "non-neck" bits
