Just sharing this one because the devil is in the detail and nobody would normally notice or care... but I want people to know anyway.
Handles installed today.
316 stainless screws were heat treated to give a matte/rustic type look, then I screwed them all up and made sure that the square drives were all on the same level.... because this is my peace.

Made a routing jig for 12 degree scarf joints, marked out the required angle on the side of the blank and made the cut on the bandsaw, tried the jig on a small piece of Paduak and it worked well so I forged ahead with the neck blank, going to do an accented scarf joint for the first time, using the bit of Paduak between the flamed Maple
