Here is an ebony heel cap fresh from the bandsaw, and fitted to the curve of the body. I have decided to put a white layer between the cap and neck so you see a piece of maple veneer sandwiched between them here.  this is plenty simple.  Just glue them together and start whittling.

Here is where it gets a little more complicated.  Trimming the heel and cap to the shape you want will take a sharp blade, maybe a rasp,  maybe even a dremel with grinder if you get desperate.  But take care to make it look right,

​Getting there, but still needs lots of work.  Thats enough for today,  I will finish them tomorrow.
