Fretboard

The wood for the fretboard for the new bass build is amazing. I can't wait to get started!

I hope I can do it justice! Not the greatest pictures, but I think you get the idea. I had the company I bought the wood from slot it for the fretlines. I had hoped to get them to radius it for me as well, but apparently this piece of wood is too wide for their radiusing machine. I'll have to do it myself - which is a bit scary. I'll have to make a jig to hold it square while I sand. I hope that doesn't become a nightmare. This wood is remarkably cheap, so I guess that part of it removes some of the stress.
