They managed to hide some quite nice mahagony under that thick finish. For years I thought it was a plastic neck.

Nice work, looks good "in the buff". Can't say the same for other things, anymore.........

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the result. Slightly worried about weakening it but there's still plenty of wood. I considered stripping the entire neck to get rid of the plasticky look but maybe another time. I did a second bowl bend on it also and the action is quite useable.
