I’ve yet to carve them but I couldn’t resist offering them up to have a look how they might look. I like it so far. Attachment : 1E5ACE4A-4912-4342-96B3-A5686774A946.jpeg Attachment : 5D14...

I’ve still got a long way to go but these necks are starting to look good with their respective bodies. I’m going to use all gold hardware on both of them, I think it would be rude not to. Attachm...

Looking good @boo. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

All glued, pinned and clamped. I’ll come back to this tomorrow. Attachment : 2BBA8BD6-5092-4EAA-A260-099B19D968F5.jpeg Attachment : 02B65A71-789A-4971-984D-B64827EEF14F.jpeg

Time to get the fretboard on. I always lightly clamp it in place first and make sure everything lines up and is in the right place. Then put my caul on to see where the holes need drilling for the loc...

Planed the fillet and a bit of scraping too. It’s very satisfying doing this bit. Attachment : E1122733-50DC-4E33-A50B-189437C228FC.jpeg Attachment : 50F601AC-C8D6-49C9-A76A-9A96740AC6AC....

Time to unclamp and plane this truss rod fillet down so I can glue this amazing fretboard on. This neck is going to look stunning. Attachment : F77B5056-B3F7-49A4-8D84-89E05D7B7996.jpeg

I used an offcut from the fretboard to make a fillet to cover the truss rod. Waste not, want not. Attachment : 96425C65-C563-45A6-B6F9-DF5FE41F6F51.jpeg

Time to make a fretboard for the panga neck. I’m going to use this lovely piece of pale moon ebony, again using the Bagpress Fret Slotting Jig. Attachment : 72C6B36A-0C93-4E75-9274-C5570263D22D.j...

They are both looking good together. Attachment : 2E4024FF-2528-4DC2-A640-7421CB060D89.jpeg Attachment : 05654C2E-A31E-4352-8B93-3C5701B14201.jpeg Attachment : 9C7F48FF-E731-40DB-9B...

Time to drill the panga and route the headstock to depth. Attachment : AC24879F-08CF-44C1-842A-25A70D6097C3.jpeg Attachment : 59F41F43-5389-4900-BFCF-F3ED9F75EB47.jpeg

@boo You're getting well with that, its good to see that you're workbench is almost as tidy as mine.

Posted by: @russ Lefty @russ Well, it could be but it’s going on a righty as a reverse headstock. It’s going on the purple and gold swirly body as my tribute to Jimi. I know Jimi was a lefty but he ...

Posted by: @boo Can you spot the one difference, apart from the type of wood? Lefty @boo? 🤔 🙏🙂🎶🎸

Panga panga all routed up. It’s a pretty wood but very splintery, I had to be careful when routing, splinters flying everywhere. Attachment : 5B96EA02-F1EC-4125-B6D6-E127AAA7A197.jpeg Attac...

Time to make the panga panga neck. Here we go again. Can you spot the one difference, apart from the type of wood? Attachment : 5DFE181B-DEF6-486C-8A92-98A82A9AB18E.jpeg Attachment : 5AA3...

Posted by: @darrenking Thanks for the mention. @darrenking It’s totally justified.
