Prepping the heel end

This is the end that will be attached to the body of the guitar. As you can see, the shape is still pretty rough, and will be refined and carved down next week... meanwhile, we needed to install the inserts into the holes (e.g. for the bolts to screw into... this is a bolt-on neck rather than dovetail). And rout out the tenon that will be part of the neck joint. I've posted pics of the jigs that helped us to do these procedures, and the end result.
