So pretty close to finished one of the necks for the bodies to be sacrificed for artistic advancement. Actually they are going to be donated to some charity raffles. Almost takes as long to do a pretend neck as a real one. Picked up a sad looking 2 x 8 x 10', the only redeeming property was that it had some good sized clear sections with no knots. First up scarf joint.
Cut the majority of the scrap off with the bandsaw. I need to get a smaller blade than the 1/2" I have. I did not bother to router out the tenon joint and cut it with a coping saw, did the next one with a hack saw as it was easier. The fretboards are going to be some sugar pine that I got off a pallet, still has the staple holes in it.
Oops, a little too aggressive with the chisel, some glue and a clamp and back in business.
Roughed out the shape.
Seems to fit well enough.
Chisel and rasp, start on it with the sandpaper.
Walnut scraps for the front and back plate. Think a buddy has some junk tuners, need to do some frets and a bridge. Then onto the next one.
