Day 3 - Regluing Headstock

Well, I wasn't in love with the scarf joint I made on day 2. it just didn't look as rock solid as I needed it, so I bandsawed it apart and started over.

Here's the old joint... Not quite what I wanted. Just a hair sloppier.

I had even gone so far as to glue wings on. Gonna need to do it over! Crap.

On the second attempt, I went through the effort of making a nice 15 degree cutting and gluing jig. This made all the difference.

You can never have too many clamps.

Here's a sneak peak at the top wood (flamed maple) and rosewood for the fingerboard. Beautiful!!!
