Brian, this is more exciting than the upcoming Fall Classic (significantly more.)
Victor, here is an image I believe I got from the MC somewhere, showing the the forms/molds, with what I understand are necks-to-be already in place (temporarily fit to the bowl form) awaiting further finishing once the staves/doge are in place. Is this a correct interpretation? Or does the assembled bowl get re-fit to a finished neck?
Thanks, Victor, for the doga madre reference.
Brian can obviously clear up some of this. On a Puglisi I disassembled the neck block and neck were of one piece, the doge attached directly, as opposed to what I've found on Washburn or other US made mandolins with a separate dove-tailed joint between neck and block.
I am sure there are other methods of construction-neck/body joints of which I am totally ignorant and would love to find out more about.
Go, Brian, go.
Mick
