I haven't slotted the frets yet, really I should have don this because it is easier to square up the slots on a rectangular piece of wood than an angled one sitting on a neck blank.
The contrast is nice, however I still intend to paint the neck black, however when I see the wood like this the temptation is to leave it looking natural.
The oak even has some woodworm holes in it! These are filled with a bit of sawdust and super glue, I used the mahogany sawdust to make them stand out, these will not be painted black and should therefore be embraced not hidden.
I think the next order of the day will be to slot the neck for frets, then start removing some of that wood and make a nice profile.
