hello all , ive been making quite a few necks, and experimenting with different heel shapes and shaping teqhniques. Im interested in how others do it so I can get a broader perspective on how its done out there . my biggest bummer is most of the necks i do are two pieces of 3/4 inch x 1 1/2 glued together for the neck and body/heel portion. and when done shaping the heel there will remain a thin glue line .
Also please post up procedure pics if available thanks in advance .

Great photo story. Thanks for that.
sometimes the best way to hide a glue line...
is to turn it into a feature.
drop a 20c scrap of veneer in there ;)
a bit of matching fingerboard scrap works nice too...
edit oh snap, you're all saying that lol
