Lovely work!

Not a bit of fret leveling and crowning

Then a wee bit of polishing up.

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Then a bit of final sanding.

....and adding some finishing oil.

🙂🙏🎶🎸

Almost there.... just making a nut and saddle..... first get the blank to roughly the size and squared...

Then start getting into shape

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Next getting it to the right height and curving over the top.....

🙂🙏🎶🎸

Take it back out and mark out and carve out the grooves for the strings

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Next, the saddle. Again squaring up the blank 

Then keep sanding and refining until it fits the saddle slot.

🙂🙏🎶🎸

Nice fit

🎸🎶🙏🙂

Then preparing the bridge pin holes for the strings using a reamer.

Then file a wee groove into the front of each hole

🙂🙏🎶🎸

Then I made a wee truss rod cover.... shaped the same as the headstock.

🎸🎶🙏🙂
