A cocobolo fretboard has been cut and slotted.
Here you can see the process of making a 7 piece laminated neck .
 |
| neck strips before planing , birdseye maple + wengé + maple |
 |
| jointing and planing the strips to size |
 |
| dry-fitting and checking for eventual gaps |
 |
| glueing up the 7 laminates with Titebond |
 |
| Scraping off excess glue with a cabinet scraper before machine planing ( to keep my planerknives in better shape) |
 |
| planed neck assembly , birdseye reflections are nice indeed ! |
 |
| Here I mark the 10 degree headstock angle with a homemade cnc template |
 |
| imagining how it's going te be |
 |
| The drawn angle |
 |
| After a visit to my small bandsaw it looks like this. |
 |
| correcting after machine jointing with a nice Lie Nielsen block plane |
 |
| Headstock veneer shedua + padauk Shedua was the closest I had to match the body top wood. |
 |
| some glue and clamps before a night's rest. |
