S906_4 neck set...

Back of the neck profiled.



Scarf joint close up and headstock.



Electronics cavity routed and laid out.



Time to carve. Burl is relatively soft so I am using a 100 grit paper on the sander for the carve.



Finishing up the carve.


Belly cut.



I trimmed up the heal area so that it is more comfortable... now I need to adjust the neck to it.


Adjusted heal.


Better.



About ready for the neck glue in. Just need to look it over a few more times before committing to it.



Carve turned out well. The burl causes optical illusions and make it seem rougher than it is in places.



I am going to have to deal with the knots and inclusion at some point. I have new System Three epoxy to try on these.



Gratuitous even.



Grass.



Last shots before glue up.
