Some inlay cavities cut. Following on from the IB effort, nice clean minimalist blocks.
These are going to be MOP, though the temptation to do them Red black and green was strong.

Franky you need a scroll saw mate. Is that the fret markers you are cutting for the slot in the fingerboard? looks good

Yeah its the fret markers, not 100% happy with them or the fit, but a bit of playing should get them about right and once the frets go on it should pull the eye away from some slight inconsistencies. the tough bit is going to be getting the radius right with these on.

All rough shaped and laid out
Just need to deepen a couple of the inlay routs and then epoxy in.
And then of course radius sand the board, cut the nut land, fret and dress and paint the headstock face Black etc etc etc
And I wonder why I never get anything finished....

So I'm quite pleased with how this is turning out.
It's not ferpect, but as this is the first time working with MOP I'm okay with it.
Next time I spend some more time on inlay routing guides and templates. Not to mention depth control.
