More neck work

Five guitar necks and two peghead shapes.  Lyndsay's neck is on the far left, Rick's neck next to it, and Bob's neck is on the far right.  Bob's guitar construction will be included in this blog.

The veneer on Lyndsay's peghead is ebony, Rick's neck is cocobolo, Bob's neck is Zircote, and the other two are madagascar Rosewood.

Cutting fret slots in a radial arm saw.  The blade has a .022 inch kerf.

Showing progress in slot cutting.

All five slots are cut.  The four boards on the left are a form of ebony, Bob's fingerboard is zircote.

None of the boards are tapered yet.

The other end of the neck, the heel end.  I cut a mortise in the heel and then epoxy a spline into the mortise.  The spline will fit into a mortise in the guitar body.  Lyndsay's neck on left, Bob's neck on right.
