Hi Hippy Chip, Wes, Toad, Phillip Dan and Andy.

I'm really flattered to get these comments.

Toad. Pretty much all the wood I use is old stuff that people don't want. Funny though, that you say "off the shelf" because this is from one of three shelves that I was given, so it is the shelf. They are at least fifteen years old. My understanding is that parana pine can warp a bit so I wouldn't be confident using new wood even if it was properly dried. The fretboard is mahogany from the side of a draw.

Many thanks again.

John

Very nice necks, man!

I like how your glue line wraps around to a point on the back side. Very professional.  You could put a layer (or several) of contrasting veneer in here and really show it off.

Hi there Jim.

Thank you for the comment. It's a 2" router bit (with 1/2" spindle). The way I look at it, it took about as long to make as shaping a couple of necks. Once you do the third neck you are in profit.

All the best.

John
