Fingerboard fitted

Tonight I glued the fingerboard.
Yesterday evening I made a thin wedge and glued it to the neck to get the required angle (and resulting down bearing ratio....)

Now the fingerboard is fitted next job will be the shaping of te neck to its final form. One can see on the photo that the neck is still rectangular. This makes it a lot easier to clamp the fingerboard. There is however still a lot of wood to be removed....
The neck will be a lot thicker than in later models. The drawing of the Linarol shows a nearly parabolic cross-section of the neck.
(3.5 cm near the nut to 6.5 cm at the beginning of the heel)


Tomorrow when the clamps are removed I'll add another picture.
