Once the neck is planed and squared straight after gluing, the next step was to create a scarf joint for the head-stock and then to router a channel for the truss rod. In the past, I used a Martin style truss rod, which is basically a steel rod encased in an Aluminium box, which can add extra stiffness, but the downside is that its only one-way tensioning. On occasion, it may be the case where you need to have the neck bowing in the other direction, but ultimately, it means you have far more control with a two-way truss rod.
