Neck and other pieces

Top-Bottom: Macassar Ebony fretboard, macassar ebony bridge blank, macassar ebony headplate, extra macassar ebony bridge blank for tuning knobs, madagascar rosewood bridge plate.
Left-Right on the side: figured maple end wedge, plain maple headplate veneer.

The top three macassar ebony pieces all have similar color/figure, which is good. The bridge plate has very interesting color/figure... I didn't expect that.

I measured the neck and heel block for fit. The neck is 1-2 mils oversides and currently won't fit in the healblock. I will sand down the neck part when fitting it later. For now, the heel block is good to go for gluing to the sides after I put a slight radius on it.
