shaping the neck is my favourite part of the build to. I use a rasp (non-shinto) to get the initial area at the body and headstock in shape then use a spoke shave to blend between the two. then copious amounts of sanding for smoothness
Hey, Cayden - thanks for sharing. Was doing the same thing just this morning with my Shinto - your neck is looking great! Headed back to finish the sanding - time-consuming but I usually find it relaxing, just zoning out on working those curves and making it smooth. Mark
Great little lick
Thanks for sharing

I use a half round top n bottom get that nice curve extra work but wrth it ,
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Get a farrier rasp! It makes short work of neck carving! Nice tune!
