but it is 3/4 inch thick(20mm). Is that thick enough for strenght and stability? I've made most of my guitars with 20 mm neck blanks, so I don't think there is any problem.

How about gluing bits on to thicken the ends for the the heel and headstock @clinton Yeah, do a stacked heal and a stacked headstock if there is enough of it. It will have to be quite a skinny neck p...

@robin thinking of that. Also have a wipe on polyurethane

@Boo Thanks
