Jeff's Dire Wolf Custom
« on: October 05, 2004, 11:57:27 AM »
Here's the neck in it's embryonic state:

  And a closeup of the laminates:

 Maple and Purpleheart with an Ebony center lam.  Ignore the silver line on the end of this board:

 We love the dark color of this piece for your project - should look great with the body inlay.

After the clamps were off:

Chip made the veneers from the same board as the body laminates.

Yes, it's the centerline, everything is measured from that mark. You've never seen one on a finished bass, so don't worry, we'll remember to sand it off in carving.
