I received my neck from Mainland, and it leaves plenty of room at the top to do your own shape, so I scanned it in and made up a couple, just to see what they'd look like. I quickly started developing ones well beyond my ability to make the cuts. Here they are, in no particular order:

The Batman

The Crest

The Czar

The Castle Tower

The King of Knaves

The Night Owl

And The Comb Over

Any favorites I should try my hand at? I could practice some, I guess!

3, 6 & 7

I like the banjo style one too...w/o the point though

I really really like the night owl!

I like the Batman!

comb over is my vote

This is not a good idea is it? You'll will have so many opposing opinions - trust your own judgement.

Offset the comb-over to the center, round off the corners and you've got soft-serve ice cream.

(Oh, wait... That's been done.)

2nd. In reality most of the points are probably too sharp to be durable but slight revisions would make them work out great!

They are all cool!

The comb-over is sweet! Sorta reminds me of a Rickenbacker bass.

Just having a little bit of fun.

They're all awesome, but the comb over rules.

I like the Night Owl, The Castle Tower, and The Comb Over. In case anyone is interested in trying his or her own, here's the "blank".

Thanks to everyone who replied.

That's a uke made by Dave Talsma, who lives not too far from me here in Michigan

He's got his share of creativity, and then some!

I like the Czar. It transforms the uke from happy, gentle instrument to deadly weapon.

Thanks for the link. I'd seen that on Dave's web site before but couldn't pull his name out of my brain or Google.
