REFINING THE NECK HOOK

7/31/2015

There is just something special about forming the final shape of the hook I like to incorporate in my tenor ukuleles.  I love to work on the shape until it feels just right, and much of that final work is done with this wonderful scraper

You just sit in a comfortable chair and scrape away with the variety of curves in the scraper carving away tiny shavings until it is just right.  A wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Think I have it where I want it now.  The next step will be lots of sanding through the grits.  I will start at 120, probably quit at 600.  This neck is Honduran Mahogany. Wonderful wood to work.
