7/2/14 - #14 - a little scraping and filling on the yellow cedar top
7/2/14 - #14 - I'm sorry for the poor picture of the re-glued head block for #14 and #15 on the side. They are on top of a piece of slate that has my sharpening stone, lately. I have a set of sharpening stones somewhere, but the slat woks, for now.
7/1/14 - #14 - Here is the head block / string retainer with slots roughed in, from the mounting face view.
7/1/14 - #14 - Here is the head block / string retainer with slots roughed in, from the top view. I did not anticipate the redwood to split away between the string grooves, but we'll see what tomorrow brings...
6/27/14 - #14 - fret markers coming up tomorrow
6/26/14 - #14 finger board ready for inlays, and walnut rectangle snow flake inlays waiting to go in 14 and 15 for now. The inlays shown are the larger ones for the first octave. Not enough daylight left to start on the inlays, I'll have to wait for tomorrow for that.
