Pretty sure i messed up my walnut neck enough that i won't have a piece think enough to make the headstock from. But it was $40 and practice is practice so I'm not overly bothered. I'll use it to practice everything i have to do for the final neck.

But to replace the walnut i got this:


Some Indian rosewood. The grain is amazing and it feels nice even without being finished.

And i saw this at the same time i got the rosewood and couldn't resist:


It's a piece of zircote for the fretboard. Also unfinished and so smooth already. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to be playing this eventually.
