making good progress on the baritone for Stu Fuchs.  The fretboard is about to be attached.

first the glue

Then put it in place connecting with those little brad guide holes, and tapping them in
Picture
And here we are,  all clamped down tight over the cauls to spread the pressure.

Now lets carve the neck for Olga's tenor,  It has been shaped on the band saw,  Now the artwork begins. This neck must be slim, slick and smooth. First we use a draw knife

Picture
Then a spoke shave
Picture
And finally a rasp
Picture
With the neck roughed out, now we turn to the hook.  Lets hog off some wood with the chisel.

Picture
And finish up with the rasp. This neck is now rough carved and can be attached to the sound board 

Picture
Here are the various parts to assemble for Stuart's peg head
Picture

And here it is assembled and trimmed to shape with holes ready for the tuners.
