Progress: Cigar box uke with shaped-edged box

I used a core box router bit and the table saw to shape this neck to match the tricky Ashton cigar box. I can elaborate if there is interest. I'm very pleased with the joint. 9353901662?profile=original

Now that the neck has been shaped, I'll be attaching it with pocket screws through a maple glue block two through the top (to be hidden by the fretboard) and one from the bottom, to be covered with a maple plug. The box will be permanently sealed at that point ... no going back!9353902253?profile=original
