Back in the shop building Cigar box guitars for the last few weeks, I was working on a neck black walnut center with tiger maple sides, I was running the blanks down to size and the tiger maple had a tear out, this would not be so bad but this was the final pass to make the with of the neck to size, What to do, what to do, trash the neck or try to repair it? I ended up making a router jig to allow me to take down the neck and laminate a new thin stock on the neck, both sides to give it balance look, it turned out fine, down side is I can't sell the guitar, I am going to send it to a friend  gift he wanted to buy one from me, He just recover from cancer and I think he would enjoy playing it, Note he has a band and plays lead, We were online friends for a long time, never saw him play but have all his cd's
