I'm very happy with the way this has gone together, the HOURS AND HOURS of planing to get these bits to fit so perfectly were well worth it... The join is absolutely perfect...
Met one of my favourite people @campbestival this year! Mr B Gentleman Rhymer, (@GentlemanRhymer on twitter) top guy, loves scallops, awesome moustache and this dude really knows how to put on a great show...
It's time to get the enormous rasp out again to take this neck closer to the shape I want it to be.. I really can't tell you how much fun this bit is, and how you combine your eyes and the feel of the thing to create a finished item.. Big rasp, then sand back to see where you're at, also I like to and back to see if there's any grain that needs enhancing...
With a little more cutting and planing I'm starting to get these wings to fit to the neck properly, and to get an idea of what it's going to look like, I've cut out the bits next to the next as they wood be insanely difficult to cut out when glued. Neck shaping next!
Ive made the leap and cut out from my 'plans' as a template, and marked out the walnut wings, notice the way ive slanted the template to make sure those beautiful grain features are shown... And finally the two marked out sides with the neck.
