    Wokka's baritone scale lap steel build

    I got inspired from Bruce (ALM63) art deco lap steel build so wanted to experiment with a longer scale lap steel in the baritone range, so went to the green shed Friday (refer to selfy thread haha) to pick up the timber, jarrah and mercanti laminate.
    First step was to glue the neck through part and started to drill out the opening for the tuners.
    Then glued the wings on and cut the rough shape in the bandsaw.
    Then pulled out the tele routing templates that Jarrod cut for me on his CNC. Routed the tele bridge, neck pup and control cavity
