    Thanks! No, i cut them by hand on the bandsaw, then i rough flatten them on an edge sander. Then i use a short 8" fret leveler for the final flattening.

    Ive used veneer many times, 1/42" thick. Advice i can give, do NOT use water based dyes or stain. It will delaminate. One sand back is about max, stay away from corners and points most of all.

    Compound is the last thing on the list. I havent tried it yet. I only use 2 radii currently, either 12 or 16. Both have shown the exact same outcome so far. Compound is on the list.

    Yes, i have a guy here who used to work for the jackson custom shop (he actually invented the warrior shape) Have had him doing the fretwork for me on all of these, and they still all have the same result.
