The Fretboard

Glueing the grey dots (trapezoids) into the fretboard

I put around 6 hours into this fretboard. I decided to go a little off the more common road, boa ughh some Padauk wood, and made my own inlays.

I practiced I laying for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Then I worked on my fret board. I cut each trapezoid out individually, and inlayed each individually. I used a carving knife, chisel, and straight edges to do everything.

I had just finished putting each price in and the next step was glueing
A look into the future

This is after I have glued the neck and fretboard together. I used 6 C clamps to hold it as the glue dried.
