[Uncle Hanky]

I am absolutely in awe of this. Bravo. Bravo.

WOW- I impress myself when I change pickups & tuners on my basses! :***:

NICE JOB !!

Might I ask, how did you smooth out the top after sawing it? The wood seemed to have some pretty gnarly saw marks.

 

[Sunset Shalom]

Top notch work That came out really well, beautiful neck too!

I had never thought of looking up parts off Ali or DHgate, looks like they have some great deals though!

In the same way as in the first photo. Milling machine
on 'skis' performs the role of the thicknesser.

After gluing and cutting form I pasted three wide sheets of P40 abrasive paper onto the table and simply moved the workpiece along it.
Here the mahogany part is shown but also with the walnut I did the same thing

Then a bar with a smaller sandpaper wrapped around it...

 

[Papa Carlo]

Yes, aliexpress has everything you need. The quality is much higher than its price.
Here, for example, one more neck from there

Wow, that homemade finish really makes the neck colour pop! The body shape reminds me of an old Ibanez musician. Nice job all round!

Finish with shoe polish, coffee, soy sauce, apple vinegar and teak oil

Sounds tastey!

 

[JACink]

All I can say is... WOW!

Very nice job and impressive skill with basic tools!!

 

[Papa Carlo]

Nice, but, most importantly, the cat seems to approve so what more could you ask for?

Body on the second neck looks like framing scraps - "Spruce-Pine-Fir" (SPF) around here, they don't like to get too specific.

 

[UNICORN BASS]

Pine?
