After succesfully squaring the neck blank and building a jig, I started cutting for the scarf joint. The result has to be very accurate, because a sloppy cut would result in a slanted headstock or, even worse, a weak joint. I cut the blank by hand in an angle of 13 degrees.

Then I made another jig to plane the glueing surface flat with my router, followed by sanding it smooth by hand. After this step, I planed the headstock part down to somewhat over 13 mm. Together with the veneer, the headstock will be 16,5 mm thick.

The result seems to be perfect, but it isn’t. The glueing surface of the headstock piece still is a little convex, so it needs some sanding before I can get to the glueing part…
