Before the neck can be completed, the fretboard must be attached. Here it is, glued and clamped.
The neck is always left wider than the fretboard so now it must be shaved down to fit the fretboard and fit the hand. That begins with a pretty aggressive rasp.
Here we are getting pretty close to the fret board, Time for a finer tool.
This is my old reliable half round rasp. Had it for years and it still cuts well for fine work.
And now that the shape is pretty well established, I turn to the scraper for long fine strokes the length of the neck. This will continue until I get to the shape and feel i want. Then it will be sanded to finish.
