Here's another carving....I'll post a few "along the way" photos in the tutorial section.
I'm going to try some raised inserted peghead carvings and carved rosettes over the next few weeks and I'll post my attempts...and/or failures.

This one is a Martin style neck and again...I need to stress...finer detail is very hard on softer woods. Rosewood, Maple or Walnut would have been a better choice of wood for this design.....but with extra time and care...it worked out.
