4449-3 through 6

Been a busy few days ...

6 Daylighters in the rack now
'3 bucker all mahogany body for a customer
I take each neck blank to the correct heel thickness on the table saw. After I fit each neck Dad cuts away the extra material on the band saw.
Stack of necks...
... and a stack of bodies
No action shots but I use our tapered jigs with a plunge router to cut the correct amount of neck taper I want before shaping.
Mockup with a Wenge fretboard

Getting ready to glue a fretboard down
And glued!
Another mockup with a Pau Ferro board this time.

Tomorrow will be busy, wood binding a half dozen fretboards.
