Shamisen Blog: Circled Rod


I’m getting the tenon ready for the other end of the body. I’m making the end of the rod into a circle. That came out good. I made a test mortise with some scrap wood lying around. It worked pretty well. Since the way the neck was put on the rod, it tilts ever so slighty to the right. Not much, but I think it will be enough to maybe mess up the way the strings will be on the neck. Well, since the top mortise is a little loose, I can tilt it the other therefor make the neck fit on straight down the middle of the body! I’ll cut the mortise tomorrow.

I also did the little artistic thing at the end of the fretboard. You can see it clearly in the picture but it’s profound and not worth mentioning what it is.

What I’m saying generally makes sense, right?

  • you can’t say that something is profound and not worth mentioning, it’s just not fair! so…what does the detail thingy mean? profound is good…
