Building a twin neck guitar - part 3: Woodwork 1

So I started doing the shaping of the 12 string head-stock.

This was my starting point. I had the initial head-stock with the pencil marks for a rough guide.

I put the neck all set up ready for me to shape it as I please :)




I've taken an edge off the point to help with the pointing of the curve at the top left.


I also rounded off the left-hand bottom point to improve the aesthetics a bit. It was all too square. I decided to "ball" the corner as it just seemed to flow better.


Same goes with the right-hand bottom corner.


I thought at this point I'd show you how I pointed the top point and was getting ready to do the big work on the 6-string, however .... I decided all the things saying to wear safety goggles might not be a complete waste of time, as I ran to the bathroom to wash out my eyes.



I'll stop here until I get my eyes protected. Will look great when it's done .... promise :D
