Progress continues on my scratch build following the Antes bari and Hana Lima tenor plans.
These are mahogany cut on a band saw and trimmed with a plane. The plan is to fashion patterns to make the final cut on the router table. Then hand carve the neck profile. My intention is to finish my head stock design before going any further on the necks. Input and criticism is welcomed.
The pair of skinny necks in the middle are off cuts. I see two maybe three possibilities. One is to simply glue them together and make one neck. Two is to cut a skinny strip to put between them and the third is to split them both with a dark wood in the middle to make two necks. Thoughts?

Nice looking work. I finished a tenor last month fallowing Hanalima plans and would suggest doing the head stock now in the plans they wait until the body is done its a lot harder to cut with the body on
