Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I learned a lot from this job too. If you see any way to improve my process please let me know, I'm all about learning and getting better.

Tim, thanks for posting this......great read and informative pictures. Quite a job to replace a neck block!

Do you have any pictures of the back after refinishing?

Yeah, really I wasn't sure how that neck block would turn out. I bought the knife oven to keep my blades HOT. It's amazing what a hot knife and a little patience will slice through. And it came out really nice. And of course I forgot to take a picture of the back. I do have a pic of the back with some naptha on half of it that I sent to the owner after I finished sanding to entice him. I'll see if I can find it. It was beautiful wood.

This pic is after I sanded half the back and wet it with naptha. Finished product looked very close, a little shinier.
