img_2043I have profiled the neck to a shape that is comfortable to my hand. I am worried that it will need a lot more sanding.(I strongly dislike sanding)

img_2042I have profiled the fingerboard to the soundhole here. The fretboard is made from ebony. It is incredibly dense and a bit oily. It is also a bit brittle and tough to shape.
