Another new neck?

Since my last post with the three necks I decided to buy an Indian rosewood blank for my rosewood back and sides guitar. While a little heavier and less traditional than the mahogany I was going to use, the matching look is going to be beautiful.

Nice looking match. Thanks Vikwood!

Dove tail routed. Starting to shape heel. You can see the handmade template I used at the left. No CNC on this one.

It's already shaped and fitted now. I could glue it In but to make life easier I wanted to sand it out before its attached permanently.

I got my top braced.

Here it is, all braced out and scalloped. It rings out nice and has already been voiced (the removal of extra brace wood so the top can ring out at its best) The yellow bridge plate is Osage orange wood. It's a really hard wood so it will do a good job holding up to the string ball ends pulling on it once it's all strung up.
All that's left is to sand the braces smooth and pretty.
