Found a pre inlay pic of the headstock

this was after I glued on my paduak veneer and cut out the shape on my bandsaw.

Been busy

I've been working on the inlaying proccess as well as carving the body more. I'll get the picks of the neck and headstock up later. I think they're on the other camera. Here's some pics from tonight of the body. If you're wondering why its taking me so long, in this first pic, you'll notice a very tiny little planer. Thats what i'm doing the majority of the carving with, and some with small rasps and wood files. So yeah, this labor of love is all being done by hand, no routers, no grinders, sanding discs, etc... Also I took some close up pics so you can see the subtle curve i'm trying to achieve sloping up to the top of the arch.



I'll post the neck pics later when I find em.
