Oh they work just fine with timber... drift stitches. just drill some holes in either piece of timber and join with cable ties.
Last bit of action for 2021, rough contouring and beveling.
Had almost given up on this one, but thought I better give it a bit of attention. I reckon I've now got some wind in the sails again.

Out of curiosity, Are you going to do a reshaping on the front of that neck pocket?
For my sense of aesthetics, that is the only bit that doesn’t really flow for me like the rest of your shaping work.

Yeah, I'll probably shape it for a curved plate, or bushings.

I vote for bushings. I've retrofitted a few of my previous builds, and used them on the last couple of newer builds. I don't think I'll ever go back to plates again.
They even make a difference in the feel of a standard neck pocket IMO. A neck plate can add 1.5-2mm, and that can be a lot in this game.
