More progress on the offset avenger.

Update on the Offset Ranger and Nomad

The Nomad is officially under finish. It will be about a month for it to gas off.

Progress has also been made on the Offset avenger. The carve is cleaned up, the fretboard has been inlaid and glued on, the neck carve and heal carve are completed. The pickup and electronics routes are also in.

Progress on the offset avenger.

I have made descent progress recently. The body is assembled and I have begun the task of carving the top and rounding the edges. The carve has been roughed in, but is still very unrefined. I have also roughed the rounded edges with the router, but I still have a good deal of work to do with the rasp to clean them up and even them  out. Very soon I will be inlaying and installing the fretboard.
