On your neck-through and set neck instruments, the shape of the body/neck contour is beautifully sculpted. How did you arrive at that design and how is it done?

I took a lot of mental inventory on upper fret access based off basses I had played over the years and came up with something that is both functional and cosmetically pleasing to my eye. With the end goal in mind, I had to find a means of carving things in a way to make it happen (via grinder, rasps and various files).
