Today I planed the neck square so that I could saw it out on the band saw. I did the final shaping by hand. I really like this pattern and hope that I can do it justice. It's taken from a 1695 Ruggieri.

I finished sanding and details on the varnish and separated the two parts to dry and cure. It will be strange not to be able to work on the bass but at least I have the tailpiece to do. And plenty of other tidying and reorganising and repair work.
