Being built right now.


BulletBody Scrolls Part 1:

After rough shaping the body, I commenced carving the scrolls on the body.  The next three pictures were taken after I roughed out the top scroll, and most of the front portion of the bottom scroll.  Here is a view with a pair of the larger chisels I used.

Carving the body scrolls.

BulletHeadstock Part 2:

Here's the back of the headstock almost done.  Only small refinements and final sanding needed, before finishing..  Well that is if I follow through adding one more spirangle scroll to the volute;.  Decisions, decisions!

Back of headstock.

Here again is the front of the headstock, and because there are some maple accents in the the body and neck joint laminates, the headstock needed a few touches, so I added an accent to it, and there will be a little in the truss rod cover too.

Now to glue the neck in, so I can carve the transition between the neck and body and blend in the body scrolls to the neck joint.  And so, we start a new page.
