Time lapse neck carve.

Just mucking around with the time lapse vidieo on my phone. This was about 10-15 mins real time.
This was just doing the rough carve with my Shinto file.

nice one Dan, wish I could work at 1/10 that speed hahah.
So you shaped that from a block in 15 mins ? thats impressive. Love the headstock shape is original

Yeah Woks, that Shinto rasp makes lite work of it. From here I will spend 20-30 mins with a 2nd cut file and a cabinet scraper and then down though the sand paper grades. The final sanding takes longer than it does to do 95% of the shaping.

The headstock is my own. Trying a reverse headstock on this one to see how the string tension differs.

good one Dan. Yeah we all know the sanding mantra on this forum !
Cool so what body shape is this neck going on ?
Did you source any new timber yards after your favourite closed ?

Some pics.
Mahogany neck with Ebony fretboard.

looks great Dan, got to love how dark the ebony fingerboards are. Is your workshop at home or at work ? Jealous of the size of the workshop. Is that US money pinned to the dart board ?

This will be going on a semi-hollow Walnut body with a similar shape to my last two originals. Not share on the pickup/ hardware yet.

And still no luck on the timber front. I've heard there is a place in Malany that's worth a look.

Yep that's my back shed where all the magic happens. And yeh that's U.S dollars on the dart board. Very observant.

sounds good the plans for the body.
Good luck with the new timber supplier !

Nice work on the neck, the headstock looks cool. The shinto rasp is a legend of a tool.
