Last night I decided to test fit the neck. The neck block came with the mortis already routed in. But when I glued on the sides, I covered this up. So the first step was to remove the side material that was covering the mortis. This didn't take too long with a chisel. Once this was done, I had to sand away a little bit of the neck tenon, until it fit nice and snug.
I measured the gap between the neck tenon and the neck block: 0.105-0.110". The top is about 0.125". This means that I need to either sand down the neck block and kerfing in this area some more... or take off some top thickness once it's glued on. Either way, the top and the neck must be flush for the fingerboard to eventually fit on.
