Starting to take shape

Hey, it kinda looks like a guitar. I fit the neck up for the first time since before the bindings were on to check the angle. It isn't perfect, but it is close. I should be able to tweak it a bit by leveling the top of the top where it meets the neck (it is slightly curved right now), and possibly by additional sanding in the neck tenon area. In the end though, I would rather the neck angle be a little much (as opposed to shallow) and then just file down the frets near the body a bit more than the main ones that are used.
I sure like the look of the maple bindings next to the herringbone purfling:)
