The completed rough cut of the neck:

The headstock is still rather blocky, as I wasn’t sure what shape it should have, so I left more material on in order to have options.

Also note the round shape at the end where it meets the body. It follows the curve of the sound hole of a classical guitar. More on the neck-body joint in the next post
