Neck blanks making

     Three neck blanks are made from well seasoned and aged Cuban Cedro logs. I have been using 8ft long and 5"x1" logs for my neck construction. After purchase long logs, I store those material approximately three years in my garage. When a guitar making start, I cut the log into decent size for neck laminate, and than I roughly surfaces it. Then, rough surfaced materials are stored in my work shop. Finally, the row neck material re-surfaces using a #7 hand jointer. Then, cut for the neck profile, and glue for three piece laminated neck. Beauty of the laminated neck is stability. Also, neck does not have the heal joint.
     In this industry, one piece neck is the best choice as commonsense; however, the large and thick Mahogany log (4"x4") is very heard to reduce moisture level using natural aging process. Basically, Kline is required for stabilizing the one piece log. For me, it too expensive to use forced aging process for my guitar construction. Therefore, I have been using the laminate neck construction.
