Gap at heel

[buddy225]

Thanks very much for the help. Now I know what I have to do. It's very reassuring having you guys to turn to when questions come up

It looks to me that you've taken wood off just at the heel. Whenever you remove wood you must remove wood along the entire line of contact. You just remove more from the heel part. In other words, you always remove a very very long thin triangle of wood that evenly tapers from the heelcap to the fretboard.

If this sound reasonable, then you may have already removed enough wood from the heel cap, so try only remove wood above that area.

You have no finish so you can use that in the final part. To get that tite clean look , at this point you can pull 320 grit paper through the joint. Take your time , you are close to getting the nice fit and finish. It is all in the details.
