I'm especially interested in seeing details of that back plate. I'm assuming that there's going to be a volute? Did you have to bend the veneer on a pipe or is it flexible enough to just glue to the neck as-is?
Hey Neil,
Thank you! The back plate does get bent on an iron to make it easer to glue up. No sense in putting stress into it. There is no Volute, I personally don't like them. Here is an example of one that is finished. One thing to keep in mind that I have found is to make sure you know the machine head max and min head thickness that is required for the machine heads being used. I taper mine, so knowing this helps to know the plate size for from and back along with final machining of the neck blank.
