Looks great, I am hopeful someone chimes in and has a detailed approach my feelings are the same.

Todd, looks excellent!

So you have decided to carve a different neck for the bodies swinging on your porch

I used to scarf, but recently I've been smiling.

Todd, I would welcome some historical details myself.
Yours is executed very well, but looks a bit narrower at the base than my Martin. I've got a Custom Shop 00, with the slotted head and the "dart" volute. It's wider than yours. But let me say again, yours is done quite nicely.

That's beautiful, Todd. I love the looks of a slotted headstock. Hate to change strings on them, but love the look. Nicely executed workmanship.

I scarf and volute, but I don't build anything that could reasonable be called 'vintage-style'.

This is what I have been doing lately with the transition area to the peghead. Not a completely authentic Martin style but similar.

Hey Todd, I would love to see th rest of this guitar.
Please?

I've become quite fond of small-bodied guitars, and the OO is my favorite of them all.

I've been working on one for awhile now for a friend (slowly...very slowly...I'm retired after all).
It has a redwood top, EIRW back & sides, with herringbone trim. 25.4" scale. I have yet to decide whether to do a solid headstock or a slotted one. Yours looks very very nice, so it's very tempting for me to try one. I'd also like to try one of those funky v-notched joints. They're cool!
