    Nice! Fretboard looks great and very cool grain on the body as well.

    So your radius block jig thingy worked well then?

    i ended up using it inverted, bowed convex to sand the 14” radius into a prepped maple block. That took a while. But the block itself was sweet, and the board took maybe an hour, hour and a half to sand to shape, smooth and recut a couple of fretslots.

    Next board I’m going to taper in thickness to get a uniform edge width. It’s quite a stark change on such a wide board.
