Arm Bevel & Neck

So this thing is looking more and more like a Tenor Guitar.. I  finished the arm bevel. The base is a piece of Bass Wood and it is topped with flamed maple, all the binding miters were fun to do (oh and yes the bindings are done..)..

Rough carving the base for the bevel

Gluing it all together, a bit fun to unravel

The result

Next it was time to carve the neck, I always like doing this, it's actually kind of relaxing..

Everything that was not a neck

Carving the Neck

I always enjoy this part of the build process even if it is a bit nerve racking trying to get everything even and symmetrical.

Typically I use a spokeshave for most of the work and various rasps & files for the heel area..

Turned out pretty good on this one..

Now just a lot of sanding and oh yes the fret work to finish...
