The neck carve is coming along, albeit slowly.I have some numbers I'm shooting for, ~.830" at first fret, .910" at 12th fret, 1.000" at 15th to 19th. Right now the first fret is about 1.100" thick, and it goes up from there. I'm basically going slowly, like taking a tenth of an inch of the back of the neck off at the first fret, then blending the rest and getting it to a point where I think it's a nicely shaped neck (but still too thick). So I'm intentionally getting about 10 neck's worth of practice with this one neck (it started out at about 1.75" thick from nut to 19th fret), and hopefully I'll be pretty decent by the time I get down to the final dimensions. Then I'll shape the volute to it's final thickness and work on the back carve where the back of the neck meets the body.
