Fingerboard & Neck

Stephen's Tweed Koa Chopper is progressing nicely.

The inlay was designed by Stephen's cousin and is now featured on the fingerboard.

First, the inlay was completed, then the fingerboard was glued to the neck. Finally, Jason bound it with multiple layers (tortise is visible on the edge) and prep'd it for frets.
