Planed the maple filler strip flat...
Then added the taper to the rosewood handle cover...
Cut the slots for the metal line markers in the rosewood handle cover...
The stuck the rosewood handle cover to the handle... (just with double sided tape)
Then used the pin router to transfer the taper to the handle
The handle test fitted to the handle holder...
Starting to look like like a tennis racquet...
Off to thickness the handle cover!
Loving this thread!
bloody cold down on the farm!
got the ears glued on the headstock...
Got the tunnels drilled for the line position circles on the handle cover...
Strapped the handle cover to the handle cover rounding jig... then gave it a good 12” rounding...
The rounding jig did a bang up job of rounding the handle cover!!!!!
Then finally the position circles were melted into the tunnels on the handle cover...
Hopefully the next update will see the handle cover bluetacked to the handle and maybe the handle bolted onto the handle holder using hot hyde glue!...
Love that radius jig, makes light work of doing multiples

Side dots done...
Headstock transition roughed out...
Starting to look like a banjo!...
It's just practice and there are things like ready made fretboards that'll help
