Started the neck shaping yesterday afternoon. I started by taking some heel measurements on a Fender neck and marking them on my neck along with the 12th fret.

......

I marked the first fret location and the headstock flat line.

......

I started roughing out the heel transition area with this Sureform round rasp.

......

I then used the rasp at the headstock end. It seems to work best holding it so it cuts on the pull stroke.

......
