The tenors are completed, the last one shipped off to Texas today. Time to get a new project started

Here is the neck for the new 2 string base. It is a lovely and thick piece of flame maple cut from a big slab of lovely wood provided by the boys at Pacific Rim Tonewood. I just cut it out this afternoon-you can see the remaining piece of the 2.1/4 thick chunk on the saw table in the background. This made the bandsaw groan a little, but it cut it true and fine. First order of business will be to install a carbon fiber rod in it.
Here it is on the work bench- the carbon fiber stiffener laying on top of it. I will incise a thin groove in the top of the neck with a router and then embed this stiffener in the groove with epoxy. I plan on carving this neck down pretty thin and I don't want it to be moving on me. This is going to be fun ! ! !
