When I rough-cut the shape with the bandsaw, it didn't do the cleanest cut, so when I was routing this part of the Walnut popped off. Won't be a tough thing to fix though, and it won't be too obvious when it's stained
Second oopsie. I thought I was touching the wood when I got to the end-grain, but I wasn't, and the router took a bit of a bite out. It's not too drastic though, fortunately, so all will work out.
Then with the Truss rod all sorted and everything fitting in place nicely, the fretboard was glued on.
Flush heel!!!!
I am glad it all managed to fit together rather nicely, but I will say though: I'm never doing the frets before attaching the fretboard again, it causes too much worry and feels like a bit of a leap of faith that it will all fit together properly. But it's on and looking good, so we're good for now, and happy days.
Now I'm gonna collapse. Be well, everyone, and may you have a lovely day
