I still get a buzz when carving a neck (only done 4 so far....) - almost didn't believe it first time when over a few minutes it went from 3 facets to a smooth curve. My Firebird neck is a bit chunki...

I love carving my own necks...very satisfying. It’s also good to experiment on different styles and “chunkyness”..

Great photo diary @tv1010101 Billy will be missed - he did stunning satin finishes on my two builds at the shop. It’s good to here Lewis is filling those big shoes of his..

Great series of pics! Thanks for sharing...

You got it! All makes perfect sense don't it?

Scarfe-tastic ! Don't forget to post a pic of the 'real deal'!
