It isn’t 
when I fix my coffee machine, I like the fact that “I did that”. A neck that you made is a million times better than one that you buy.

Exactly. Actually 2 millions time better. And I didn’t spend extra money for fretless neck. That’s what I did.

But any neck I make will probably be a thousand times worse.

That looks great work. I  went in a different direction with mine. I've filled the slots with CA glue and covered the fingerboard with it as well. It needs flattening back down then polishing back up again.  Wondering how that will work out? 🙃

 

How did you do the CA coating on the fingerboard, and which CA glue did you use?

Cleansing by fire would probably work better for my woodwork.

I wiped it on. Used Screwfix No-nonsense stuff, cheap as chips. Took a bit of sanding back. I don't think wear will be a problem as I  put on tape wound nylons after trying a Rob Allen Mouse in Bass Direct..
