Not finished yet. Fretboard and head veneer just positioned with tape.

Neck has been shaped and sanded to #120 grit at present final sanding will happen after the fretboard is attached (properly) and fret wire fitted. :thumbup:

Now hardening off for a week or so before I start further work.

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT
