Neck Construction Part III

After I made the practice version of the neck a few weeks ago, I repeated the process with mahogany.  It was pretty straightforward after doing it once already.

I finally received the router bit I needed to slot the neck for the truss rod.  Here's what the neck looks like with the slot cut and the rod inserted.

From another angle you can see how the rod sits below the surface of the neck.  A spline will be inserted later to cover the top of the slot.
