The dowel method. Do you use it when (because) you're working with a teardrop gourd shape, but would also use it for a bottle gourd or canteen gourd with more of a round top?
@@LowlyMountainBanjos Yes, exactly. Sorry, I should have made that clear. I'm going to attempt the one-piece approach, and I've always wondered about the logistics of the dowel method, specifically getting the neck angle correct.

Not sure what you mean by "dowel method". As opposed to making the neck and dowel from one contiguous piece of wood?

@@drewby613 I mostly just find that using one long piece creates a lot of waste wood and doesn’t allow for much error.
@@LowlyMountainBanjos I hear you. I'm going to have enough cherry left over to make pegs and bridges 'til I don't know when.
