Howdy all. Well, it's the weekend and that means I get some time to work on my JS6 project. Today I shaped the neck. Here is a shot of the roughed in neck:
On the utility stand are the tools I use for rough shaping including a spokeshave, rat-tail surform (gets the most use), contour guide (not used much at all), calipers and 150 grit sandpaper on a rubber block. For final shaping I used the rubber block and my random orbital sander.
Here is a picture of the finished neck dry:

And here is a picture of the finished neck with a coat of naptha:

Man, that birdseye is gonna look nice!
Thanks for looking.
Best Regards,
Mike.
