Well this today's chain of events.
Finished playing with the neck to box fitment
Sande in Tru-Oil on the neck
Drilled out the tuner peg holes
Gulled down the loose labels
Attached the Lion Crest to the neck base inside the box
Routed out the channel for the 5/16" drill stock steel rod
Routed out the track for the reverse skunk stripe
Made the skunk stripe (Bloodwood)
Put the insert base inside the box for the neck block to glue to, etc....

Note to the crowd, DO NOT USE Mod Podge for clearing over things. They say it will sand, NOT it turned to gum. Had to strip it all down, I had to use Lacquer Thinner and a pull scraper to remove the funk it trashed the cut out and I lost an hour...
Know I need another box for the label I guess??? !!!!
