First angle cut. This is for the top of the headstock.


Now the question is... How to cut the remainder??


I think the bandsaw will work. I'd rather get a smooth cut from the table saw, but since the area in question will be cut off anyway, a little ridge should not matter.


Test cut made to check the angle and it's good! Now to trim a little more off.


Time to get dangerous! First pass to create the headstock surface.


Headstock face cut. I cut a little too close to my line, but that's okay, as there is a Holly veneer that gets glued to the face anyway. Cut is nice and smooth!


Neck is separated from the blank with a rough bandsaw cut.


Side view..


To cut the rough top shape of the neck, I need to use the scrap, but I want to send it back to David. It's not enough for another neck, but it can be used to practice the neck shaping.
