Hi all
I bought a Bruko a few weeks back I am happy with it but noticed a bit of cramp in my hand due to the extra thickness on the neck. My old uke at the nut was 15mm depth this one is 20mm. Is there an easy way of getting the 5mm off without making a mess of it. I have done a bit of cabinet making. I was thinking of using a router to get the bulk of material off then various grades of sandpaper then oil it up. Anybody else got any suggestions how to get a good result.

Thanks Phil.
 
I would use a steel scraper and taper from the heel to the head.

Would you scrape highest point to thickness first then round over or would you just scrape evenly all over if that makes sense.
Thanks Phil.
