Chunky neck doc. Are you going to get a slab of Camphor and cut a tele body?

It would be cool to have a go at cutting a Tele body, but I really don't have the tools or machinery to be able to do a good job of it, fortunately Wokkaboy has offered to cut me a Tele body using his new CNC machine once he's learnt how to use it, he's going to have a look for some pieces of wood for me, so I don't know exactly what kind of wood it'll be, I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see, I'm planning on building a custom Tele with two humbuckers on it, should look cool, I had the idea of finishing the body with just a few layers of clear coat if the wood has some nice grain patterns on it, there's a website I know of where I can order a set of 6 in line Kluson-style tuners that are locking types and have a 19:1 gear ratio, I'm thinking of getting a set of them for the custom Tele, and going with Chrome hardware, my plans could change though.

I may need to do a fret-leveling job on the neck, so I'll have to buy some fret-leveling tools soon, I noticed that some of the frets are a bit high when I tried straightening the neck because it had a bit of forward bow, I almost got it straightened out by tightening the truss-rod but found that the truss-rod nut was getting a bit too tight to turn, and I got a bit worried that I'd end up breaking the truss-rod and ruining the neck, I do have a spare Maple neck I could use, but I'll need to cut the headstock to the correct Tele shape, not anything to worry about, but at least I do know that I have a useable spare if things go pear-shaped with the Andoer neck.
