"Thanks 'UJ', I showed these close ups of the Headstock mainly to highlight these classy shaped tuners I found on Ebay, and yes I do use a Router on the back of my Necks with a large 45 degree bit, if the Timber is a worker friendly, I then round the back with my Spoke Shave as I've done here (but unseen in these pics),  or leave the 45 angle on Timbers that are a little hard to work with, as per some of the harder recycled woods used mainly on the Relic Type Builds. :-)

Shapely and almost sexy head stock.  I like my gits to be able to hang on the wall. That brass grommet looks especially nice used here.  Looks like you use a router on the back of your necks.   I often do.  Dumb but true story:  My dad died in 85 and I have his old router with a quarter round bit (I think that is what it is.)   All these years later, I still use it as he left it.
