Inlays are in, next I'll do some filling around the edges where needed.



I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

Nice call on changing the shape of those inlays. Too much like a boat sail.M

Nice clean routing there. A sigh of relief is always in order when there's no tearout on thin stock.

It will look fine without the pickguard.

Yeah, I was a little worried about routing the 3/16" top, but it came out just fine.  No pickguard: one less accessory to make!

Neck pocket finished.  Even though the pocket is over 2" wide, my palm router never lost its edge by keeping it diagonal to the rout.

I didn't make a template for the pocket as I tend to make each neck individually and not exactly the same.  My pocket is too large by the width of a pencil line!  Didn't account for that!  So, I'll tighten it up with a thin piece of veneer.
