So veneer is now glued onto the back of headstock. Started shaping - here's the beginning for some idea of how it will look. I accidentally split the veneer on other side so this now glued and clamped up. Another battle scar lol

I guess that's always a danger with stock so thin. Great work Andrew!Originally Posted by andrewdosborne

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Would thin CA glue help to hide the crack or will it mostly be under the row of tuners?
Nice grain and it blends well with neck.

Ok so at close of play ready for a tidy up final sand. I CA glued the crack, sanded back and split is almost invisible. Tuner will also hide some. So after a day of blood, sweat no tears and mild coarse language it turned out ok
The photo is at a funny angle and not as wonky as it looks!
And wiped down to see flame
