What only a couple David? On my last trip to Lowe’s I cleaned them out, bought all 23! They work great for necks and the price of them hasn’t doubled like most of the other lumber.

On second look, the fret board looks better.  Some folks will get a kick out of what you used. I live in Menards land too.

Love the Menards yardstick fretboard; I’m green with envy! Can only get the Lowe’s and Home Depot ones here. I agree with Uncle John on staining the fretboard. I have failed to do it on mine and regretted it. It’s going to be a great looking CBG!!!

Love the box and f holes.  Love the paddle style headstock. The Menards yard stick is too 'new and modern'.   I think I would dark stain it.
