I carved the neck, I probably will refine the profile a bit. I took a 1 and 9th fret neck profile and drew my desired shape in those profiles and worked out a primary facet line that I could use to start the shape.

I transferred the facet lines to the neck and used a combination of my spokeshave, rasp and a knife.

Not shown, I use the same tools to remove the facet corners and better refine the neck shape.
