One neck just routed and one shaped and part-finished

This shows the difference between a neck that has just been shaped on the router and what I end up with. The oak neck on the left (this one is for Anders) has not yet had the hand work done. The other (in parana pine) has been shaped and sanded.

Hi Ian.

Well. If it's a job as a chocolate tester, benevolent dictator or you want someone to help you spend your lottery winnings I am your man. In fact I can probably multitask and to all three for a small (sorry, meant large) consideration. When do I start?

All the best.
