CARVING THE NECK, CONTINUED
Shaping the neck where it meets the headstock:
The shapely heel:
Sanding the neck:
Drilling the holes in the fingerboard for the side dots:
Installing the brass side dots:
Filing the side dots:
Close-up of one of the brass side dots (the maple fingerboard binding has not been sanded yet):
Gluing the neck to the body, and finally starting to see a guitar taking shape!
Finally, the fingerboard after the first sanding:
Wow, that was a lot of photos to upload. I hope you enjoyed seeing a snippet of all the small steps it takes to carve an acoustic guitar neck.
