Making the heel cap

I actually strung up the instrument before I make and glue the heel cap.
I'll describe the sound in the next post though.
The heel cap was made from the fretboard (IRW) cut-off.
I was pondering to use my ebony cut-off or stick to using the same fretboard (IRW).
In the end I think using back the same fingerboard will look better and so it shall be.
After marking the shape, I began to saw off the excess and finally plane almost to shaped.
Once glued I will file to fit the heel.
