Once the sides are to shape I glue on the end blocks. These are made of Mahogany plywood. I use waste Mahogany to make up the Ply, the reason, well, stability, end grain doesn't glue well and on the neck joint area there will always be a gluing face with end grain on it, so a ply makes every surface get side grain, the strongest for gluing. Make sense?
