🦋 viola d'ottone: second thoughts about the neck
I think I need to laminate the brass viola's neck out of two pieces, so the grain in the upper neck and pegbox/scroll can be straight. I do not think it will be strong enough going at an angle across the grain as it is currently laid out [cf]. I have a pretty clear mental picture of what the joint should look like.

some progress... The next step(s) is going to be to cut a mortise in the upper section of the neck and fit it together with the lower section, and get the length of it right; then I will get a fingerboard and rough fit it, and finalize the angle of the neck, which will entail laying out and making a neck block.
