Looking forward to you building the neck.
Am I mistaken in that the centre of the join is slightly off centre?

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

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.
