A little practice before the actual carve. A lot of fun and work.

This is the neck carving station KMG pretty much copied tools, fixtures and all. We do the prelim clean up in a station where the truss rod slot is the locator. Note that the fixture allows work on both sides without flipping the neck over -- to me this is extremely important to easily maintain symetry.
