Lovely
Your neck heel is very graceful and should allow a bit of extra access to the upper frets as well.
I am a 12 fret addict and every little bit of extra room up the neck is helpful! Such beautiful work! Thanks for sharing, and keep the beautiful pics coming, please! Cheers Paul

I totally owe this french polishing skill to my great mentor, Sergei de Jonge. Quote:
I carved like this for the last 5 guitars and finally started to look elegant. I'm happy with that you noticed where I'm sticking to

Thank you very much for viewing.
After the first session of the french polishing, I cut a side sound port and drilled the tuning machine holes. Doing those things after a session makes it way easier to pore fill with pumice.    And then I did the final(not final final) adjustment of the neck angle and shaped the fingerboard end.  Dry fitting. The neck sit on the body all the way with no gap. I think I did a good job.  Back to french polishing! Started to look shiny.

So do I. Negative neck angle(raised fingerboard) gives us lots of positive benefit  ----- I finished the final session of the french polishing and made a bridge while waiting for it to cure. Carving the wings of the bridge.  Done.  A bridge making formula   Thank you very much for vewing!

Using hand tools makes me train have a fund of humor (I'm not criticize using CNCs, though. Actually I want one...) Thanks! I'm so excited! ---------- Glueing the neck on.   Glueing the bridge on.   Preparing for fretting.  Fretted!   Thank you very much for viewing!
