that is a slick piece of woodworking DB - nice.
I thought you were gonig to out a celery top on top of the blackwood body, but this is really interesting and a cool contrast.

Some more progress shots.
Turning two chunks of tree into a laminated neck and fingerboards.... (Canadian Rock Maple)
First chunk gets split into three, dressed on the planer jointer and slapped together with some Titebond.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
The second chunk gets split in half length ways then both halves are sliced again.
Next a couple of passes through the drum sander and lo, we have enough finger boards for the next half dozen Guitars and Basses. 8-)

Extra bits added to form the headstock...
When the glue has cured it will get the drum sander treatment then profile cut out on the bandsaw... Fun!

Next time you start a neck from scratch let me know please DB, I'd like to see the steps in person !
