Norbertocaster, part 8: shaping the neck again

Shaping the neck... again

Since I didn’t follow the template exactly, the fretboard ended up slightly wider than the neck in a few spots. So I had to grab my tools again and carefully remove the excess wood to match it perfectly with the neck.

But just look at this gallery — it came out fantastic! This was the first moment I got really excited, starting to feel like the end of the project was within reach.
