^ Yep, those are the best ways to shape them. I actually carved most of the back of the neck with a rasp, and a small sander attached to a hand drill. The necks I build are extremely thick though, but that's because that's the feel I like for a neck--if it was for a customer I'd probably use the spokeshave more to take off more wood, as most people like thinner, C-shaped necks.
