Tdale.
Most neck specs will list thicknesses at 1st and 12th frets.
I took the neck taper past the heel and headstock then added the extra ofset to get it up high enough for rotation. So the neck shape was carried past the heel getying larger of course and the same for the nut end which got smaller. Does that make sence.
