Heel Block Blanks

Heel Block Blanks

Craft your own custom neck heel block
Many acoustic and archtop builders choose to build their necks by gluing a separate heel block onto a thinner neck blank rather than cutting a "one piece" neck. This adds strength in this critical area and cuts down on waste.

Each blank is large enough to make a single piece heel rather than a stacked heel. There is plenty of material to dial in the final shape of the heel as well as the dovetail or bolt-on joint you are creating.

African Mahogany is very stable, dense, and is one of the best woods to work with. It sands and glues easily, and routered edges stay crisp and sharp.
