Finger Board

I started into the fingerboard today. I planed it down and cut the fret slots. I needed to make a couple of jigs to do that. I also tapered it down to fit the neck.

The measurements of the frets were pretty fussy. They are identified right down to the 1000th of a millimeter.

The first jig i made was to clamp the finger board against a square surface to cut the slots.

The second one was a depth stop camped onto my fret saw. I will need to do this one again after sanding the curve into the fingerboard.

 Here is all cut out from the nut.

....and from the bridge.

Here it is trimmed to match the mahogany portion of the neck
