Well, my wife went and decided to have another baby girl (making 3 now...) so thing have been getting busier. I am still trying to build, and just finished up this GA cutaway. Lutz from Shane, Cocobolo B&S from local sawmill. Stephen |

Very nice Stephen. ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") Like the rich colors of the cocobolo, and the inlay really stands out nicely. Terrific binding job as well. This is a timely post considering the cutaway discussion that is going on now. So I'll go ahead and ask - what kind of joint did you use? Glad you're back!

And you've been missed. But that's the best reason for an absence I can imagine. :-) Congrats! Incredible work, as usual. I like everything about it! |

Martin, I used a ' new'conventional bolt neck with mortise and tenon. Basically, I downsized my neck block proportionately to 'cutaway' side, and then glued the cutaway side directly to the side of the neck block. I went back and added thickened epoxy where the side flared away from the neck block to ensure this was a substantial joint. Then using a convention mortise and tenon for the neck, I temporarily joined the body and neck, and shaped the neck into the cutaway. Then removed the neck and finished the piece - Assembly was little difficult, as the finish thickness and such caused a slight alignment error from the side of the body to the heel of the neck...some post finish flossing generally took care of that.
