butternut body progress

i glued up the body pieces last week, and started to shape it.

i've been stalled out trying to decide what to do next. cutting holes in the body to receive the neck requires getting the neck height figured out. neck height needs me to figure out the pegbox first, kinda. so maybe i'll drill the pilot holes for the pegs. even though this is 'trash' wood i still get hesitant, don't want to make a mistake!

here's the body resting where it will attach to the neck, just to get an idea of final product. that neck is seriously curved. the small piece to the left is the plum wood, shaping it into a peg.
