Neck making

     I have been working on neck making. My neck is made from Spanish Ceder using three piece laminated configuration. Also, I have been using V-joint technique between neck and the neck head. I like this method, because I am able to minimize material loss. Most of leftovers from the neck making go to blocks for the body making.
     My neck head for Nylon model has square slots. To make square slots, I cut the slots first, and then glue together to make the head. Then, I cut V-joint mortises. After precise fitting work for the neck head V-joint, Neck head and the neck body are glued. This method takes a lot of fitting works; however, it makes pretty beautiful neck. Also, V-joint is very strong. V-joint neck is stronger than 1-piece neck for sure.
     Neck requires couple of weeks to stabilize from the gluing work. So, I back to the body making next week. After, I complete the body making, I will shape the neck.
