Good old Velvets @tv101. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

This neck is now shiny shiny (shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather - points for spotting the lyrics) Attachment : 20230125_170516sml.jpg Attachment : 20230125_170506sml.jpg That's tota...

After the various suggestions, I ended up using ... Attachment : 20230122_161956sml.jpg Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil. Mainly because I found an unopened little bottle on a shelf! I remember wonde...

Thanks guys. From the comments, I learn that there are *many* possible best finishes!!

I quite like using thinned down oil based polyurethane varnish on necks, gives nice protection but feels superb. I use satin stuff. I've heard ofusing boiled linseed oil etc but was advised to thin ...

@tv101 Yes it can be pricey but works well. Rub in a small amount with a soft cloth. Good for ebony where hand sweat leaves a deposit over time as it’s mildly abrasive, but not so much to wear away t...

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4 screws into a neck plate. The screw ferrule is 15mm diameter, which took it right ...

@tv101 screw ferrule for the neck is to close to the edge?

@tv101 surely the perfect gap for binding which would be pretty cool!

Not that @Robin - I’ll just redrill the bolt holes from the top through the new cap and use the holes as the centre points for the 15mm recess holes. Similarly, I should be able to find the thru-body ...
