Damn! Overlooked it!

my fretboard was 8mm deep, thought I'd plane it down to 6mm. Marked it carefully and all was going fine but then I spent too much time getting it flatter without paying attention. Ended up at 4.5mm! What a gimp! Having got my 9.5" radius block in the post, I can see that it is too shallow now. Doh! Oh well, at least I can have a practice run on markers, fret slots and radiusing. Concentrate!!!

    Laminate it on top of another piece. It was good enough for Gibson a couple of years back...

    Yup, laminating is the way to go.

    It's an idea, but I don't have another piece! I think I'll go with the practice plan, judging by that cock up it's probably no bad thing.
