Neck joint and Fingerboard built

Neck joint to the body and the finger board making have been done. Both two models have African black-wood finger boards. It takes extra time for slotting work due to the oily and heard material property. However, the African Black wood makes the best play-ability. I also have spent a lot of detailed work for the best neck fitting. I have been using the mortise neck joint method. I used the Epoxy for the Mortise joint. Finger boards have not been installed. Finger board installation requires additional fitting work, because the body top is domed. So, the finger board needs to be shaped to fit the body top doming. Then, finger board needs a bowing work for the neck re-leafing. These guitars might require additional three weeks for the finishing work.
