    I've struggled cutting neck pocket to stay on centre line on 2 previous builds. So last one I built the neck then cut pocket and finally cut body shape correcting for centre line as needed. Much easier to hold the body slab too when cutting out the pocket. I also wish I'd worked my curves a bit more. Even with drawing out, cardboard templates which I thought were exactly what I wanted, the final shape isn't quite there. it's amazing what your eye will pick up as not quite right!

    I bet if someone were to come up with a Warmoth style neck and body business for mandolin they'd sell a few.
