Today the neck was bolted to the body by putting a 1/4-20 insert into the heel and running the bolt into the heel through the inside of the body. Then the heel is fitted to the body using a chisel, a rasp, and some sandpaper. Also, the alignment of the neck to the body assures that the centerlines of the two are th same.
The fretboard is then planed down to match the neck profile.
Here's a closeup of the head with the Kermodie bear inlay laid on.
