Tom's Ukulele, Neck shaping

After stuffing myself full of a Pop's beef sammich, I went back out into the garage and shaped the neck.  I alternated between cabinet makers rasps, and a round and half round file.  After sanding and hitting it with some 0000 steel wool, I'm happy with the shape, but see a few spots that need additional sanding.  Some of that I'll have to wait until after cutting the headstock to do.  As soon as the tuners arrive in the mail, I'll take care of all that.  Aside from that, its all ready to join up as soon as I can get to the city to pick up my bindings that are sitting in the back room at Specimen.

For now, here's some pics.
