Roy and Rufus Necks, continued



After the headstock and neck taper were complete the rear of the headstocks both received veneers. Roy's a walnut and Rufus's ebony. These continue the themes established earlier in our wood choices. The rear of the headstocks were sanded and prepared. Each thin veneer was glued and clamped to the headstock. When gluing veneers I have found it useful to use a very small amount of glue. If too much is applied the veneers will bubble up. Now both of these necks are ready to be inlayed with pearl.
