Lee_ Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Of course there are many ways to build a neck, so you don't have to stick to the one in the tutorial. I rough shape the neck using a chisel and then I'm using a file to get it to shape. Edited August 26, 2005 by Lee_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Short version: I shape the two 'ends' of the carve with a half-round rasp, facet the neck (mark out straight lines to follow, remove wood between them, until it's vaguely the right shape), generally using a microplane rasp, smooth out the countours with saidsame rasp, sometimes a file, sometimes a japanese hacksaw rasp, clean up/fine tune with scrapers and sandpaper. Even more basically: remove wood until it feels like a neck, and make sure all the lines are smooth, even and straight. Sanding blocks helpful.
