Day 8 (the day before yesterday) was very unproductive, as I had classes all day long, but yesterday was just the opposite. This is yesterday's outcome!

Having done the channel for the truss rod, i rough-cut the shape of the neck.
I attached the template to the wood, using a screw located at the heel of the neck. Since im using a rosewood fretboard, it wont be a problem.
I decided to start routing the straight portion of the neck.
At this point, I really regret not having built a router table. There is just too little surface for the handheld router to run on! I would never do a neck this way again, i desperately need a router table!
I routed the neck with various very light passes... The wood is just too hard...
After routing this part, i moved on to route the head of the neck.
And here is the neck contoured!
Ill go have lunch now and finish writing later! I still have a lot of photos from yesterday...
