    Phil thats a great idea on the clamps i was using cardboard to keep from marring the wood but cork would be a better solution. Thanks for the compliments guys

    the reasoning really is just peace of mind, its a five string neckthrough bass....,ive seen plenty of them get by with just a single truss and nothing else, but ive seen quite a few with some ugly action too.... im considering two 1/4"x1/8" rods, these are the same size as the top rod on my truss(the square one, the bottom appears to be a 3/8" round) so the weight factors not a problem it would be fairly close (a little lighter) to a 2 truss neck.......which may be a better option............

    im in the process of buying all of the wood for my latest project, i want to add two reinforcement rods along with my trussrod to the laminated neck, but i cant get over the high price of carbon fiber or graphite, has anybody used steel instead? i can get it in the size needed for less than 80 cents a foot here https://www.onlinemetals.com/ ive read that the other 2 are stronger and lighter but i can also get the stock in aluminum for a little more (which is prob weaker than the steel), i was orginally just planing on using the truss alone but it will be nice to have a little added "insurance" so has any body used just either one with good results?

    I saw on their website that dremel just came out with a new planer attachment it is said to go 2 3/4" wide sounds good for neck laminates and such....

    yeah the redwood is soft and light too, ive read that it is a strong wood (but i dont know from experience) im hoping that the oak will help make it stronger im thinking of using two truss rods too, i laminated the neck today, the woods look nice together, the redwood has some nice grain...
