That is one hell of a carve! I like the look of that, how did you do that? Belt sander or did you take the majority of it off with hand tools?

I used a battery powered angle grinder with an 80 grit flap disc for the roughing out. Then tidied with a Shinto rasp, smaller curved rasp and a StewMac curved scraper.
The nose curve was bandsaw followed by Shinto rasp and sandpaper wrapped around big diameter dowel cauls.

It’s all really just replication of stuff I’ve seen done by others, but even in raw form with the neck screwed in it felt so much better than the standard big square chunk, it’s a mod I will probably make on my Korean Deluxe ST, if I can bear to pull that One apart.
