Been a bit of a hitch. Due to lack of tools/facilities/confidence/inclination I decided to outsource getting the slots cut on the fingerboard to a local luthier. So I got it back, trimmed it to size etc but didn't really look at it until I came to do the frets.
And I looked, and thought, that looks odd. Well, anyone can have a bad day, and he certainly had one when he cut my board, because it was awful! So I'm currently waiting for him to send me a replacement.
In the meantime here's a couple of photos out in the sun. It needs all the dust specs polished off etc and burnishing, which will have to wait for the tru oil to really cure, but I'm not unhappy.
You may notice the transfer from the previous is missing. Decided I didn't like it. I'll see what it looks like with strings on before making too many decisions.
