More work on the neck

Here is the neck now after using a band-saw to cut the 18 degree angle of the headstock and the shape of the underside of the neck.

Now I will use a 1/2" piece of steel with 150 grit self adhesive sand paper to sand out the bandsaw blade marks and to bring in down to size.

Now I am almost there.

Since I am using a 2 way truss rod there is no filler strip and I want to use a truss rod cover that does not butt up against the nut I needed to make a small plug. This was done very carefully on a table saw.

Here I am dry fitting the plug. Next I will silicone in the truss rod and glue in the plug. Then I can sand the plug down flush. The head stock will be painted black so you won't be able to tell there's a plug when I am done.
