All wood is stored in a temperature and humidity controlled room.

 

 

I've marked out how I will re-saw this piece of mahogany in order to get two quartersawn necks.

 

 

The rough neck profile has been bandsawn. Notice how the two pieces are laid out in a very economic mating position.

 

 

Here is a very simple 4 1/2 degree tenon jig.

 

 

I use a router with a pattern following bit to route the heel mating surface.

 

 

The finished tenons.

 

 

This is a dry fit of the tenon into the mortise, it's nice and snug without being forced...just what I want.

 

 

Making sure that the fingerboard gluing surface of the neck and the body are aligned.

 

 

Routing the necks for truss rods.

 

 

re-sawing holly for the peghead overlay.
