I guess if you could get the fretboard off you might be able to add a chunk of wood onto the neck and then re-carve but it might take as long as starting again hopefully reusing the fret board.......

Epoxy and saw dust. If it is gonna be painted anyways.

“A router is not dangerous so long as the person holding it is not dangerous”. You're absolutely right Boo, all the routing errors on my first build were entirely my fault, not the router's. This tim...

Routers are horrible things. Aren't you painting this one Boo, I'm sure you can fix that and hide it. @robin Yeah I’m painting it so I can easily do a repair and it will never be seen. I know what ...

Oops! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m going from one mistake to another at the moment. It’s all good fun. I was routing a cavity for a string ferrule block in the back of this guitar, using ...

Apparently it's been air dried for 3 years. 👍

What do you think @markbailey Do you think this fretboard needs to be waxed or is it safe now to store it in the usual way. I'm guessing problems occur during the drying process but I think that has a...

Wowza! What is that? How thick is it? @clinton It’s 7mm thick so I can’t book match it. I will not be wasting any of it. Whatever doesn’t make the cut (do you see what I did there? 😉), will b...

Wowza! What is that? How thick is it? Can you book match it with the pale as a center strip with ebony center fret dots. Even the 12th double markers all in line centered. Pale binding with black side...

Looks like it may need careful handling - was it waxed when you got it? @forcesterbill No I don’t think it is waxed, I have to be careful. I’ll check out that link, thanks Bill.

Thanks @russ and @forcesterbill Yeah I think keeping as much of the figure is a must really but also keeping some of the plain pale stuff too. I’ll definitely need to consider other woods carefully an...

Think it needs a darker body to contrast - perhaps a play with Photoshop or something like to try ideas out?

Looks brilliant - think you want to keep the wavy border all the way up and a bit of the plain pale edge from one end to the other - looking forward to see it on a neck!

I’m very tempted to make a new neck and use this fretboard for this project. Very nice Boo. Difficult decision. It might stand out more on a painted guitar. Glad I'm not trying to decide. 🙂&...

I’m very tempted to make a new neck and use this fretboard for this project. I might save it for a project that is only showing off beautiful wood though, rather than a painted guitar body. I may plan...

To the untrained eye, it goes unnoticed. Looks like it’s just part of the grain pattern. @clinton That sounds like a great idea, I will try that one day. For this one, it’s all getting painted in bla...

Typo... I surface route the bottom part of the mini so the top of the cap is undisturbed to line up to the grain pattern

@Boo Try this for hidden tenon. When you cut your body blank, save the bottom scrap part of it by the heel long enough to cut out a mini cap specifically for the neck tenon. You will be surprised on ...
