Making the neck tenon

 So, we have a body blank, a neck blank and fingerboard blank


As this is going to be a completely hand tool project I figured it would be easier to add the 3 degree neck angle to the neck tenon rather than trying to chisel a 3 degree slope into the neck socket on the body.

Annoyingly I ended up with some tear out from the saw so I glued a sliver of meranti to it.

 After cutting the tenon I cut the head stock scarf at 15 degree angle.


A bit more work on the tenon...


I suppose it's kind of guitar shaped now.
