Some more progress on the bouzouki. Box closed and rebates cut. I didn't have any trouble with splintering on the redwood. I like using a heat gun to slightly soften the tape before pulling off. Maple binding with a simple top purfling. Bound the fingerboard with maple as well. Fitting the neck to the body was actually easier than I thought. I left the neck a little proud of the body, got the center and angel of the neck where I wanted it, bolted it up and the sanded the final neck to body transition as a unit. Bridge has masked off and finishing started.
