Looking forward to you building the neck.

Am I mistaken in that the centre of the join is slightly off centre? :sarc:
Yes youre mistaken....

pretty much there bar the shouting. Neck to bolt on, ferules to buy and fit to the back but holes drilled perfectly spaced for them :) I'd finish it off and string it up through the bridge - but no strings, the cupboard is bare :(

Anyway, some more pics after 2 or 3 coats of tru-oil, thats all she's getting. Just enough to pop out the grain a bit more but still feel organic.

Liking the minimalist look on this a lot, nice work. But you have to do something about that invisible 4mm off centre join :lol: :rofl:
