It's time to glue up some necks. First I radius-sanded the fretboards to 12 inches with my DIY sanding block. The StewMac board started with a 16" radius, which was easy to do. The other board started flat and was a lot of work to do entirely by sanding, not to mention a mess of nasty rosewood dust.
