3rd build: AIB-1Q

I guess now that I've looked at this long enough, I'm going to have to do something about it...



It's a pretty thin neck though (by design), so I don't want to reduce stability by taking too much, but it should be OK?

If you are careful, and pare the heel back to the line of the body without further thinning it, then you should be fine see below

Very neat. Is that done with bastard files?

[dozymuppet]

Yep, the half-rounded side.

Righteous! Begone, foul heel step!

[grahamjohnston80]

Looking good!

Ebony grain fill time on the mahogany.



Not sure if I'll go for another black/grey effect, or something more resembling blackwood (to vibe with my Cort acoustic bass), but I'm laying down the grain for either scenario.

I knew you’d get FW’s attention with those heel photos. Top job, you’ve done some nice shaping there.

Cool! I look forward to seeing it with the grain filler sanded off!
