While I won't hold my breath, I'm going to be very happy to see pictures.

Lot of work yet to do, but I got the fingerboard on (I made it out of Cuban mahogany with wenge binding) and rubbed on a little TO. I like it, it's going to look fine when I'm done - it has a real 'old' wood look to it which is attractive.
Still have to dress the frets - sand a couple of spots where glue showed up and re-TO - buff it all up.

It looks gorgeous, especially with the fretboard and binding.

With any luck at all some of my “beat up” necks will turn out that nice!

Wide Wenge bindings are striking. I don't think I've seen bindings that wide. Very original.

How do you treat the fret ends to keep them down with that wide of binding, Dave? I assume you clipped the tang off. I've had difficulty with that.
