Carve the Neck
Carve the Neck - concentrate on making the facets nice and flat, then blending in is the easy bit - watch the shape emerge before your very eyes!
Mark Out for Carving
The neck will be carved in stages: First we will make facets, then smaller facets, before finally blending in to make a smooth curved shape for the back of the neck. In this video I explain how to mark out the neck for carving.
Carve the Side Facets
This is the first stage of carving the neck - we need to remove the material between the two lines. The side facets should be flat and even for the length of the neck and then taper out at each end - make sure to stay within the lines.

Carve Smaller Facets
All the hard work done, we can now add more smaller facets to finish 'rough carving' the back of the neck.
