Excellent video.

How thick do you make your neck blanks?

What are you measurements of the neck blanks. How thick, how wide,how long?

Did I miss your mentioning to note the grain direction (for quarter sawn blanks) when you begin to saw the billet into neck blanks? Anyway, good clear instruction knowing that you have begun with relatively stable, seasoned and fairly square stock. nice job.

just learned I need more than a planer and a table saw lol

How do you store them to make sure that they stay true?

I have that very same planer.

Another good video Eric. Do you ever laminate the necks or do you feel its not required/desirable due to the timber you are using?

Lower the table saw blade to not more than 1/4 in. above the material to be cut. Save your digits! Save your lungs; use proper dust collection.

Thanks for the video! I found a beautiful piece of ziricote I wanted to use for a neck. I want to make an angled headstock and trying to figure out if I can use this wood for that or not. It's only .95 inch thick. Is that way too thin?

These blanks are quarter sawn or flat sawn and how you store it?

Zebrawood is very cool but I break out every time I have used it, Also it smells like a wet dog when milling it.

How long are those and how are you getting the heel Block?

Thanks!

When you planed that piece by itself instead of all of them in a batch, my ocd hurt 😂 Nice video though!
