the finery of final shaping can be pretty time consuming, and that's where this neck is at right now. as may or may not be visible in this photo, the rays in this piece of wood are exceptional. i am suddenly making all of my necks out of oak - and i just got a shipment of new oak blanks. i may have secured a large order of cherry neck blanks to be delivered late in the spring, so things might change then. somehow i feel a lot better about working with domestic hardwoods, and most of the blanks i am using now have been harvested by very sustainable means.
here are the six pieces of oak in my front hall
