In regards to your pics. I would buy a pro package from photobucket $30 or something ridiculous, and link offsite. Thatway if you change your server for your website or something, you don't have to move all your pic's. Also if your server only gives you limited bandwidth per month, your photo's shouldn't contribute to this. The otherthing is to get yourself a watermark like Perry has, otherwise your pics could end up as backdrops for cyberporn or something (I'm not necessarily saying that it is a bad thing...) VSO image resiser, which is free, will put a watermark in for you while resizing.

Fingerboard radiussed to 12" and using 2500 grit. Why ?............why not !!!!

Here's the carved neck. Blackwood with Qld walnut accent down the guts.
And one of a few other builds in the background. A new shape called
the Eclipse. Doublecut and Single cut options.

Looks great Stu.
Is the center strip tapered?
Nice fretboard, you could use that thing as a mirror!
What are your methods for sanding the fretboard? You just work all the grits?

Ta Deano. Have a look at it tomorrow when you swing by.
The neck centre is indeed tapered.
I usually divide centre lams up so they are one third the width of the neck at the nut and taper to one third the neck width at the end of the fingerboard. ie. if 42mm width at the nut, I'd have 14mm centre and 14mm either side of the lam......... 14mm + 14mm + 14mm = 42mm
No hard and fast rules though. I'll leave some neck centres dead straight and they still look good,
while on this one, I've narrowed the centre down more than a third (around 10mm at the nut.)

Stuart!
Come inside and put you website in your signature. There are 2000, yes young man, 2000 views on you latest threat and they are NOT all luthiers. By god I didn't raise a fool...
Sorry, just venting.
Seriously dude, put your website in your signature. You aren't flogging anything off on your site and it is merely a link to your hobby.
Cheers!Mongrel

Jeez, Mongrel. Talk about a perfect representation of a jail warden off 'Prisoner'.
I only get called Stuart when I've done something wrong !!!!!
Good point with the Sig.
I cleared it with WATSON who is one of the moderators and got the green light.
