Laying out the neck

I printed out a full size photograph of an original William Boucher banjo in order to create a fairly accurate reproduction. Wood is (I believe) jatoba. It was free from my BIL's burn pile (he got it from a neighbor who does custom millwork and has better offcuts than anything in my wood stockpile).
