The fretboard will be trimmed down to match the soundboard when it is attached.

| Have not abandoned the project, been pretty busy as of late. Just returned from a week and a half vacation in the Colorado Rockies and am getting things straightened up in the workshop again so I can start work again. Next week, after my bank account is replenished, I will be ordered new body purflings (I snapped one in a minor accident) and then some new Curly Maple body bindings. Kit came with black bindgings and I just don't like the looks of them. Going to pick up a high tech bending iron for bending the new bindings in a couple days as well. So if I all goes well I will be building again next week sometime. I've attached a picture of a Gallagher Guitars "Doc Watson" model that I am loosely trying to copy with this guitar. You can see the Curly Maple bindings I hope to reporoduce around the edges of the top and bottom of the guitar body, looks much better than just black bindings I think.

| Ordered the wood, glue, and other items I need to continue with the body this past Tuesday and am still waiting for them to arrive. Looks as if some of it is scheduled for delivery this afternoon, them main stuff I don't have a clue when it will arrive, hopefully today as well or at the latest tomorrow. Want to get the body routed this weekend. It will be a messy outdoor job and it's supposed to be pretty cool out this weekend, but I need the one shipment of stuff before I can start so I can measure thicknesses and do some test routing. Hopefully my parts arrive soon!

| Dang, just got an e-mail from one of the parts suppliers I ordered from. My order will not ship until today and arrive at the earliest next Monday!!! I'll build the cradle for holding the guitar while it is routed over the weekend I guess.
