Popeye got the blank for his end grain axe sanded fairly flat and cut this modified tele shape with bit of an offset. Yesterday arvo I did the routing of the cavities for him and did a mock build with a mix of hardware

few more pics. Good routing practice
Nice work Wokka
cheers Deddy
I was just thinking that with the block construction, if you know the final body shape and where the pickup and control cavities are going to go, then it may be possible to drill the wiring passages in the blocks before you fit and glue them all together.
could do Simon but the blocks do move a bit when they are glued and clamped so the holes may not line up well enough. It's a 5 minute job with a long drill bit. I got close to punching through the body on a control cavity to bridge pup cavity !
new one looks good Wokks, a bit Music Man , a bit Wolfgang, a lot cool
Yep, love that. Great shape.
cheers Stan and Pabs, yeah I spose it's pretty close to a Wolfgang shape. One row of pine blocks ended up glued on an angle so he had to cut it off so the blank was short so not much scope for axe shapes
