SHAVING DOWN THE NECKS

4/8/2014

HOW THICK DO YOU WANT THE NECK TO BE? That is the sixty four dollar question, and I have found that everyone has a different idea about that.  I am tending to make my necks thinner and thinner as that is what my taste calls for.  It gets to be a bit of a chore however, shaving down those necks, then sanding them, and then deciding to shave them down even more.  I spent a couple of hours doing that today,  note the scraper shavings on the floor.  I think I will do a bit more of it tomorrow and then take measurements to see how close I am to my favorite uke.

I am getting lots of good use out of this unique new scraper being sold by Stewart McDonald.  I  really like it,  It is thick and easy to hold in your hand.  Has really long lasting cutting edges and those edges are both straight and curved.  A very nice tool that hogs the wood off pretty quickly.  Alll those shavings on the floor were made with this scraper.
