Excess headcrest sawn close to profile with coping saw.
Shaping has begun... this is headcrest shape of the 1933 Santos Hernandez
Some of the tools involve in shaping the head crest are (from left) : try square; needle files, template (for tracing on headplate), scraper, round files and a rasp. The headcrest is awaiting final shaping and sanding.

Heelcap awaiting to be chiseled to shape.
Heelcap faceted in stages.
Final shape achieved and scraped smooth. You can see the 3 tools I use for shaping, sitting on the bench vise: 1" chisel (wooden handle), a razor blade (red handle) and a steel scraper (under the razor blade).
Spanish Cedar is enjoyable to work on and gives a sweet aroma to the studio :)
