Here's the neck in it's embryonic state:

  And a closeup of the laminates:

 Maple and Purpleheart with an Ebony center lam.  Ignore the silver line on the end of this board:

 We love the dark color of this piece for your project - should look great with the body inlay.

After the clamps were off:

Chip made the veneers from the same board as the body laminates.

wow mica thats a nice veneer,,,is that a silver line going down the middle? its in such an infant stage its hard to imagine the final product. thanks for the post....

Yes, it's the centerline, everything is measured from that mark. You've never seen one on a finished bass, so don't worry, we'll remember to sand it off in carving.

what me worry? lmao
thanks boss

something tells me this wood has great depth
for lack of a better word, even though its hard to tell at this stage.

got your message val- i will still love the wolf,
even if its not bookmatched
