Peghead design and cut

Tried this with only hand tools. I couldn't even use the jigsaw as planned because the Thingery's saws don't include blades (need to get my own). So I used a little coping saw instead, along with a couple of files.
Started with traditional tele death drawn on paper to cut into template

Taking shape.


This looks awesome!!
