Day 11 - Glueing the fretboard wood

Hey!!!

I started today by taking off the excess of the wood strip i glued in the truss rod cavity at day 9...




Then glued my fretboard wood to the neck. This was done adding a LOT of glue... Better to have too much than too less! I used a spatula for this.




I started clamping both pieces together very lightly. I took off the excess of glue that squirted out and put it back in the bottle (my hands were clean!).




I left this to dry for hours, but every now and then i would go by and tighten the clamps half a turn more. When dry, this is what i had:



I still needed to shape the rosewood to match the neck wood shape...

More pics later...
Cheers!
