Neck making part-3

I have been working on the neck making. This week, I completed the head plate veneer install for both front side and back side. The front side veneer is African BW with white (maple) and black (dyed maple) laminate. Back side veneer is the 0.7mm thickness Catalog. The total Neck head thickness is 14.5mm. Taku told me that the neck head thickness must be 14.5mm, and this thickness makes the most beautiful neck head. I also completed the drilling work for the machine head. I will use the schertler machine head. This machine has ebony knobs that matche the African BW head plate overlay. I also completed the fingerboard radiusing. I have been using the 20' fingerboard radius for my steel string models. This neck has a premium grade Brazilian RW finger board.

Next week, I will complete neck shaping and the fret wire install. So, wood working for this MD project will be completed.
