First Cuts

I cut the board into smaller pieces. I had to nail a straight board to the mahogany to put it through the table saw because it was so curved. I think it worked alright. I'm not sure if that's a bad way to do it or if that's how it's been done for years!

I had enough wood to cut two neck blanks. That might come in handy. You can see a rough drawing of the final product at the end.
