Day 26 - Gluing the fretboard and carving the neck

I sanded a bevel into the wood that will sit on top of the head so that it sits flush with the nut.

I drilled holes for toothpicks to hold the wood in place so it doesn't slip around while gluing.

I glued and clamped the fretboard and the wood covering the head.

I attached the neck and head templates with double-sided tape and I cut a piece of wood to fit where the nut will go - this is for the router to move across.

I cut the excess wood off the sides of the neck with the band saw.

I cut the outline of the neck with the table router.

I thinned and sanded the head.

I routed the holes in the head.

I removed excess wood from the neck on the belt sander.

I carved the neck with a spokeshave.
