Cutting corners

After drawing the pattern on the corners I cut them out and sanded them to make a smooth line with the form. I also roughed out the neck, as shown in the photo.

Whew! Got some catching up to do!

I copied the pattern onto a piece of MDF, backed it up with a piece of hardboard to get it to 1-1/4 inches thick, then cut the form out and tack-glued the end- and corner-blocks. Here's the photo with the pattern drawn on one block.
