Update. Spoke to Jason a couple of days ago. His hand is still healing so he can't start carving necks yet. It's very frustrating to him that he has to sit still for this! The body is built and the neck is attached (Jason carves the neck with it attached to the body).
Here's a recent pic. Mine is on the left and I'm stoked what he did with the end graft. The dots are mosaics of bronze and copper. We're going to add an ebony end pin for my NeckUp to attach to. Hopefully it will be finished late next month or early April.
