Started the neck

I started out carving with the spoke shave, which didn't go great. No matter how light a cut I took it would dig in on the stripes in the tiger maple. I ended up using a belt sander and an orbital sander, with the spoke shave a bit too. I have it roughly shaped, getting to the final shape will take courage and trust in my measuring skills. I know that truss rod is really close to the back.
It's amazing how rounding off the back like that makes it look like a bass neck instead of a block of wood. Probably get to more tonight.
