Auto body filler.

I have reached the point where i am going to start carving out my necks. To make sure that I duplicate each neck exactly, I made some carving cauls. What I did was to cut out some plywood, a little over sized.






Once I had those cut out, I used some auto body filler to make a true template of my neck. I coated the inside of the caul, and pressed it onto various parts of my telecaster neck, that i taped up to prevent the filler from bonding to my neck. After allowing the filler to cure, I was able to pry it off, and have my perfect tracing of my tele neck.






The other thing I have been working on, is putting my inlays into my finger boards. This is very time consuming, but will be worth it when all is done.
