Things done...things to do




Prior to today I had completed the body of the guitar and the neck had come from Martin already cut and sanded.  What I did not understand was how the neck fit into the body.  As John and I were looking at it we decided to modify the connection to the body.  I did not take any pictures of this yet.  I do that next time.  Today I worked on filling a gap in the mahogany near the neck, how the edge binding would look, and set the body in a jig to prepare to cut the edge for the binding.
This shows the piece I cut to fill the gap that will show after setting the neck.
Around the sound hole there is herringbone inlay
Adding a herringbone perfling and black binding
Leveled in the jig and ready for the trim router
