Freeform guitar neck heel glueup

Because the guitar is being made from one slab of walnut, every piece has to be utilized, since there is no extra wood to waste.  So the heel stack is made of different sized blocks.  As it is, the heel is 3 7/16" tall, but another block will make it 4 1/4", which is tall enough to be trimmed down to final size.  Also, a heel cap is not necessary since the wood is so beautiful.
