How to create an electric bass guitar via wood lamination and other various woodcrafting techniques

Step 10 Prototype #2: Neck Blank/ Roughing out & Shappng:

its time to use the knowledge and experience you gained from crafting your first neck blank to create a better one. The process will be the same as the first neck blank that you created, so refer back to step # 2 while creating this second neck blank...

Some things to consider:

1.What new wood are you using for the second neck blank?
(The Padauk I used was thicker than the Aspenwood I used for the first neck blank. This second neck blank only required 3 pieces glued side by side to create the proper dimensions of the neck.)

2. Do some research on the new wood you have chosen.
(Padauk has a tendency to splinter a bit when cutting. This is the sort of information you will want to gain on the working properties of your new wood.)

*Refer back to step 4 and step 5 for reminders on how to glue and shape your neck blank.

Apply your experience from crafting your first neck blank into this new neck. Remind yourself of any mistakes you may have made on the first neck so that you can make this one even better.
