Well it's pretty clear that I glued the pieces while the wood was too wet.The boards were stacked flat in my house for about a year then glued.The neck blank was not actually cut out for about 5 years.I will take your advice and stick with kiln dried lumber,however my source(as seen in the thread with the tiger maple) makes me wonder how dry the wood is.I guess I will have to buy the tool to check the moisture content.The wood used on the warped neck blank was from a local sawmill......completely raw.If you like I will send you the link to my local supplier and you can tell me what you think.
As far as acting goes...........I would have thought you would make a great Spokesmodel LOL!!!!! Only kidding of course!!My wife got a kick out of your accent.She is originally from L.I.
I know you were pressed for time in the video,but I would have liked to see more on the neck construction.
Thanks again for your time.I am fascinated with wood and it's properties.
Pete
