I discussed in the first post that I used the Stratocaster neck blueprint found in the Duchossoir Strat book. I didn't go into specifics because it's a little more complicated than a single radius. Probably best understood if you take a look at the following:

If you build a jig like I show in the first post it would be a good idea to practice on 2x4s and take measurements of the channel depth at the ends and at the high point before starting on a neck blank. Actually making a neck out of a 2x4 would be good to work out the various steps.

I hope to get back to finishing these necks and this thread in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can show something not seen in recent neck building threads.
