    Wonderful work Pabs! Necks are simple with some planning and frenzied and somewhat panicked execution!

    Amazing job Pabs on the body shape and the binding. I'm following your build with mounting excitement. I want to emulate your binding success! What glue did you use to stick the binding? And is that just a normal razor blade you used as a scraper?

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Cheers guys. Gav, straight acetone for the binding glue and, yep, just a simple utility blade as a scraper.

    Hey Pabs, I missed this build and am only just catching up with it now. She looks great so far. Lovely piece of wood and workmanship to match.

    This is going to be a stunner.

    And thanks for the heads-up about Watts Timber. They have not shown up on any searches that I have done, and they are in the next suburb to me. Must check them out sometime.

    It's amazing how that works with local searches, I had no idea that my local timber and building supplies place have a plethora of seasoned exotic woods, and it is literally across the park from me.
