Thats what happens when you are fretting tired. It will be mostly covered by the Fret in each case. I also need to upgrade my measurement methodology

Nope. Thats a boo boo that made me say caca. They are misplaced fret slots filled with Ironwood dust and superglue.

Whoopsie. Still, looks like its recoverable so thats good news.

Don't they say "Measure twice, mark once, cut once, re-measure, re-mark, cut again, fill in the cock-ups"?

Yep I did all of that, including fixing the stuff up!

So here is where we are at.

There's a bit more to do in terms of shaping and tidying up the transition at head and heel but I'm quite happy with how it's gone so far.

Yep, looks close enough to be covered by the fret.

That neck is coming up nicely.

Nice

Love seeing this one evolve
